About this module
Most families operate on a set of values that everyone more or less senses but no one has ever actually said out loud, which leaves those values vulnerable to drifting under pressure. This module asks a parent, ideally alongside the rest of the family, to name what this family actually stands for in plain, explicit language, so those values become something to return to on purpose rather than something assumed and hoped for.
What you'll explore
Three lanes of knowing
What's understood about how families with clearly articulated values navigate conflict and pressure more steadily than those operating on assumption alone.
A guided process for identifying and naming a handful of values this family genuinely wants to live by, in plain language.
Reflection on a recent family decision, checked against whether a named value was actually used to make it.
Outcome
"We've named what we stand for, in words plain enough to actually use."
