Does
Your Family Have a Sense of Teamwork?
 A
sense of teamwork exists in a healthy family. In unhealthy
families individuals focus on themselves rather than the good
of others, resulting in divisiveness and competition.
You
may choose to call your family a team sometimes just to communicate
the unity you share. When a job needs to be done, the "Smith
Team" pulls together. You may work hard to clean up the house,
or build a garden, or do yard work. Then you also have special
privileges together as a family, going out to eat, playing
games, or having ice cream.
Family
commitment reveals itself differently in each family. In some
cases it means all showing up at sporting events for the children
or working together on a paper route. In another it means
guarding the dinner hour, requiring that the family be together
at that time, making dinner a significant social event. The
family enjoys unity as its members share activities, experiences,
and common struggles.
As you talk about teamwork and unity your family will recognize
the benefits and see the privileges associated with being
a part of your family.
