Health is also related to our mental and emotional health and looking at our families, what does it really mean to have a healthy family?
There are many aspects to having a healthy family. We ALWAYS have to start with the leaders in our home - the parents. How healthy are we?
There are some definite things we can do to work towards having a healthy leadership in our homes. First - is to take care of our SELF. We cannot make anyone do anything - we can only make our SELF do things, react to things.
