Life Is Multifaceted: Teach a Child to Be Open and Embrace Complexities When you picture a normal family, what do you see? Is it the traditional notion of one male parent and one female parent, two kids, and a family pet? Or do you see something different? Or perhaps you reject the notion of a normal family altogether? Recent court and legislative activity have opened the institution of marriage to same-gender couples. Regardless of your political position or whether you ...Continue reading

Protecting Our Family When It Matters Most A drama that previously played out in a French courtroom demonstrates that any elderly person can fall victim to financial abuse, even the second wealthiest woman in the world. Lilliane Bettencourt, 92, is heiress to the L’Oreal cosmetics fortune, and Forbes has estimated her worth at $40 billion. According to a recent New York Times story, a current lawsuit in French court -- dubbed the Bettencourt affair -- is a universal story ...Continue reading

Writing Your Life Story: Why How often do you wish you knew more about your family? When we’re young, we don’t necessarily pay attention to the stories our elders tell us. Later in life, we often become interested in knowing who and where we come from. We want to learn more about what makes us who we are, and we may even become interested in genealogy. Unfortunately, for many people, the resources that were there when we were younger have become faded memories and the people...Continue reading

Guiding Your Children to Grow Through Failure -- a Gift That Keeps On Giving Laws and rules are created within organized societies to regulate interaction and protect citizens. A classic example is the American system of traffic laws, designed to promote consistent traffic flow while reducing accidents. When everyone understands how a four-way stop works, expectations follow. We learn how to conduct ourselves properly and to anticipate how others will behave. ...Continue reading

Five Valuable Traits a Child Can Learn from Working Parents Those of us who work sometimes feel that we are doing our children a disservice. Sure, we bring home a paycheck that benefits our children, but we may miss their activities and other aspects of their daily lives. This can be especially true in two-earner families. But in addition to greater financial security, our jobs provide opportunities for our children to learn many other life skills that they can use throughou...t their lives. #1-Responsibility Being consistently employed and engaged in our work demonstrates an essential life skill to our children: responsibility. Duty and responsibility are implicated in every aspect of human life, from work and family to spirituality and community. Responsibility’s sister traits include punctuality and perseverance, both of which are transferable to all areas of our children’s future lives. #2-Loyalty Living successfully and happily requires loyalty and commitment. Many of our relationships expect loyalty from us: employers, business partners, and even family members. Loyalty is a measure of respect given to those we care about and those with whom we are interdependent. #3-Work-Life Balance Have you ever heard the phrase work hard, play harder? Our kids watch what we do every day. If we work responsibly but take out time to spend with our families and recharge, we set a good example for our kids. #4-Money Management One of the best skills we can pass along to our children is money management. With the influx of income comes the opportunity to teach our children about income and expenses. Kids need to understand the basic essentials of finance, especially concepts such as budgeting, income, expenses, and credit. Learning these lessons at an early age can help them avoid financial pitfalls later in life. One great thing you can do once your children are old enough to understand is bring them in to meet with your personal lawyer to discuss what you’ve set up for them, in case anything happens to you. It’s a gift to them to know you love and care for them enough to handle your affairs in advance. Law Offices of Edna V. Wenning, 301 E.
