FAMILY Research

Your Home is “The Nest”
of the World’s Future

 

Every individual is born into a family.  It is an instinctive desire of the human psyche to be part of a family, a drive that can’t be satisfied by anything else.  The parents that bring us into the world are special to us and are connected to us in ways we can’t understand.  Even parents who don’t seem to deserve love will strangely hold a very vulnerable place in their child’s heart.

If we want to change the world we must start with ourselves, then expand our focus to those who are closest to us.
