Dr. G has a 5 ways we can talk with our family to see how it's all going and make a plan to keep improving.

What is excellent about your relationships?

Evaluations should let us know what we're doing really well so we don't stop! Give kids as young as 4 a chance to tell us what they love about our families. Let your kids know what you value about their contributions and what you need from them for your family to thrive.

How can your relationships get better?
