#235 Creating a Family Culture of Stability, Safety, Trust, & Well-Adjusted Family Members

"My kids are having a hard time adjusting to _______ (moving, traveling, homeschooling, divorce, death, etc). How can I help them?"We've received a question like this dozens of times over the years. Parents the world over wonder how they can create family stability, safety, and healing -- especially in today's mixed-up crazy world.Some claim stability comes from 'staying in one place' -- as one commenter on Instagram said,"Kids want stability, staying in one place, traditions, predictability, and the same friends."And as others have said in the past, "You're ruining your kids by traveling/moving so much."Yet if it truly were predictability and staying in one place that produced stability and well-adjusted kids, wouldn't ALL people who stayed in one place and had the same friends be well-adjusted?We know this isn't the case. Every one of us knows of a very unstable person or family who has stayed in the same place their entire life.So what is it then? What actually creates this 'well-adjustment' that we all want for ourselves and our children?Ultimately it comes down to a set of principles and practices that establish 'location independent' family stability, safety, and trust that result in well-adjusted family members -- parents and children.We've been asked before,"Is your family really as well-adjusted as you appear to be on social media?"The answer is, 'Yes', and in this episode, we give you the tools we've used to make it possible. We share the strategies that just work for creating a healthy, happy, progressing, thriving family -- no matter where you go, or what challenges come your way.Listen now to begin developing these skills today.RESOURCES:Let us help you in your extraordinary family life journey.How We Raised 7 Well-Adjusted Kids - Without Yelling, Tantrums, Punishments or Power Struggles (+ get THE CHECKLIST: Things We Do Every Day to Raise Well-Adjusted Kids)Rachel’s ⁠⁠Must-Read Booklist for Well-Read Moms⁠⁠Greg's ⁠⁠Recommended Reading List for Parents & Youth⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@worldschoolfamily⁠ or ⁠@greg.denning⁠Don’t miss out on the Extraordinary Parent Mentoring Method class!Get Rachel's ⁠⁠Family Systems & Charts⁠⁠Get Rachel’s Extraordinary Family Life PlannerJOIN GREG'S 90-DAY HEALTH & FITNESS CHALLENGE! Join the Formidable Family Man Masterclass and TribeGather with us at the ⁠World School Family (Beach & Farm) Resort⁠ in Portugal
