Food can be found in all forms and types it can also be used to communicate to
members of your family, food is a vehicle that is flexible and highly acceptable to
most people, it fulfills a need we all have and that is to give our bodies the energy
they need to function in this material world.

Communications in families can take on there own form and fashion around the
table where if the table is round or not it puts all members front and center to
each other, and offers a less threating environment to allow a even flow of
exchange between its members.

Learning how to cook can help in delivering a fresh and well made dish this sends
a message to your members that you care about their wellbeing and that food
becomes only a way to say sorry or to say you love them, taking the time prepare
and learn a new recipe can deliver a word in a single taste of a well thought out
dish.

Humor is one of the best ways to resolve conflicts within the family unit, it helps
dissolve harden feelings that have built up over months and days in our lives and brings
to the surface emotions that present themselves in a stubborn fashion.

I would use hand puppets to help deliver a word of encouragement or use them to
teach a lesson about how cleaning my kids rooms might help them in the future when
they have there own families and a home, I would always wait until after dinners to
perform the hand puppets and if it was a birthday I would sing happy birthday to my
children and give them a prize to let them know they where loved.
S
Also I would use a monster type puppet that could help teach other lesson of courage
and how to be brave when things seem to scare them, the monster puppet was fun and
it was a great way to communicate to everyone that the world is filled with all types of
monster like figures but to be brave and have kindness in the heart to help them see
the way.

Families will have conflicts and misunderstandings that grow into conflicts, the family
evolves from chaos and non-chaos cycles, these cycles are the ebb and flow of life, how
we resolve those conflicts makes all the difference in the world.
S
The question at hand is will it happen to the average family; yes it is inevitable and it is
important that static or conflicts happen, it is part of the normal function of a growing
family and its members, the problem is awareness and resolving the conflicts that arise
within the family unit.
S
Families are alive and because they are alive it gives rise to the fact that there will be
building blocks of growth or the building blocks of destruction and the ebb and flow
between the poles will vary on the dynamics of the family whole, so welcome the
emotions of problems and fight the feelings to run from them, let it be a part of the
learning process of what we call a healthy family.
