There’s a basic human need of belonging that everyone possesses.

A family culture gives that "sense of belonging" to each child.  It is the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterize your family. It is the foundation of your family.

A family culture doesn’t take away the individuality of people within the family, it simply characterizes what we work to have in common.

Creating a shared vision or family culture bonds the parents and children as well as siblings because they support and challenge each other to live up to the family code of conduct.

They “aren’t the only ones” who can or can’t do something in social settings. Their siblings also follow the set rules of the family and if they don’t, a sibling will usually inform the parents.

If WE don’t give our children a culture to belong to, society or their peer group will.
