In the book
The more your children know that story, the more rooted and resilient they become. So tell it, often, and capture it before it is lost; there are wonderful tools now, like oral-history projects that prompt you through recording your elders' lives, so that the stories survive the people. Underneath both culture and narrative sits the oldest definition of what a family is even for. James Madison said the object of government is the happiness of its people; the same is true of a family — its purpose is the happiness of its members, and, first of all, their protection from harm. — Family & Parenting (Family/Parenting)
