From the beginning, we have been cultivating a sense of teamwork in our family and share these important insights with you in this two-part series. It’s really cool to be able to get more done with more people helping, however, the bigger importance is how it better equips your kids for the uncertain world they will be launching into.

Are you more control or relationship-driven in your parenting approach? How about your spouse?

But it’s more than that, it’s also in your willingness to admit when you are wrong too that nurtures the right trusting parent/child relationships.
