Deep dives
The Importance of Interdependence Over Independence
Raising children to be interdependent rather than solely independent fosters closer family ties and relationships. Aiming for independence often leads to children leaving home and not returning, whereas interdependence encourages ongoing connections, support, and shared experiences. Families should focus on maintaining emotional bonds, ensuring children prioritize familial relationships throughout their lives. A strong family legacy is built on these interdependent connections rather than the notion of independence.
