In the book

And this is the single most effective way to raise children who make good choices even when you are not in the room to supervise: not rules enforced moment to moment, but a culture they carry inside them. It is worth doing the deep work of asking, as a family, what kind of family do we actually want to be — what we value, how we want to treat and speak to one another, what we want to be remembered for. The second is the family narrative — the story you tell about who "we" are. — Family & Parenting (Family/Parenting)
