Trust is the most important good. Do not break promises, agreements or rules.
- All rules and decisions are man-made and up for discussion. If discussion fails to resolve a disagreement, the parents win.
- Create family rituals. Family needs time, memories and cohesion; rituals deliver all three.
- Never go to bed angry. Conflicts are normal, but talk until you understand the other position, even if you do not agree with it.
- Learn to forgive.
- Ask for forgiveness.
- Give without a cause. Do favors when least expected.
- Support growth. Give constructive feedback, help persevere, motivate when your family stays below potential.
- Demand most from yourself. Do more yourself than you ask others to do. Learn from mistakes. Ask what you could have done better.
- Tell them that you love them. Every day. As often as you can.
