Teaching your kids to make good decisions can be really hard. Developing a family motto can make that a lot easier. Family mottos, such as "We are kind" or "We are inclusive" help kids develop a sense of self. Then, they naturally want to behave in ways that confirm that they are indeed kind or inclusive. When faced with a tough decision, parents can refer their kids to the family motto to then help them make a good decision.
