Hook on the family as a school for values.
Explanation of dharma, ahimsa, dāna, sevā, and tyāga.
Relationships among family members are built on a foundation of love, care, cooperation, and interdependence.
Cooperation simply means 'working together.' Each member of the household takes on a specific role and responsibility to help the family function smoothly, whether that is a parent raising children or children helping with daily tasks.
Flashcards for core values.

Explanation of Tenzing's family dynamic.
Tenzing lives in a mountainous village in Meghalaya. His family is a great example of shared responsibilities and teamwork.
While his mother stays busy working in a local handicraft cooperative (making traditional fabrics and wood carvings for tourists), his father runs a small grocery store. To balance the workload, Tenzing's father actively participates in cleaning the house, cooking, and tending to the vegetable garden.
