Module 10 – Worksheet 2: What’s Our Family’s Flavor?
Just like ice cream comes in many delicious flavors, every family has its own special “flavor” based on what’s most important to them. Is your family all about big feelings and warm hugs? Or maybe you’re more about cozy routines and traditions?
This isn’t a test! It’s a fun way to discover and celebrate what makes your family uniquely you.
Discovering Our Special Blend
Read the three “flavors” below, inspired by families in different parts of Europe. As you read each sentence, talk about whether it sounds like your family. If it does, put a big checkmark ✔️ next to it. It’s totally okay to pick from all three!
The ‘Big Heart’ Flavor ❤️ (Inspired by Greece)
[ ] Expressing our feelings (happy, sad, and everything in between) is important to us.
[ ] We are a very close-knit team and rely on each other a lot.
[ ] We show our love with lots of hugs and physical affection.
The ‘Cozy Nest’ Flavor 🏡 (Inspired by Hungary)
[ ] We love our family traditions and predictable routines; they make us feel safe.
[ ] Our home feels like a calm and stable base for everyone.
[ ] We value having clear roles and knowing what to expect in our family life.
The ‘Story Keepers’ Flavor 📖 (Inspired by Poland)
[ ] Our home is a place where we share family stories and remember our history.
[ ] We are the very first people we turn to when we need help or advice.
[ ] Passing down our beliefs and family traditions to the next generation is very important.
