    FAMILY LEGACIES
    No matter who we are, where
    we live, or what our goals may
    be, we all have one thing in
    common, a heritage. That is,
    social, emotional, and spiritual
    legacy passed on from parent to
    child.
    The EMOTIONAL LEGACY
    • In order to prosper, our child
    need an enduring sense of
    security and stability nurtured in
    an environment of safety and
    love.
    The SOCIAL LEGACY
    • To really succeed in life, our
    children need to learn more than
    management techniques. They
    need to learn the fine art of
    relating to people.
    The SPIRITUAL LEGACY
    • The spiritual legacy is overlooked by
    many, but that’s a mistake. As
    spiritual beings we adopt attitudes
    and beliefs about spiritual matters
    from one source to another.
