“Family values represent the core values and guidelines that parents and family members hold in high regard for the well-being of the family. Sincere family feelings are core heart feelings. They are the basis for true family values. While we have differences, we remain family by virtue of our heart connection. Family provides necessary security and support, and acts as a buffer against external problems. A family made up of secure people generates a magnetic power that can get things done. They are the hope for real security in a stressful world.” PeopleWorldWellsHeartMadeRealDoneFeelingsProblemValuesParentDifferencesSupportVirtueSecurityMembersConnectionsBasesRegardCoreSecureWell BeingSincereThings DoneStressfulFamily MembersMagneticFamily ValuesCore ValuesGuidelinesTrue Family Author:Doc Childre
