De Anza College Birthday Voicemails Family Tradition Discussion DISCUSSION Questions (MAKE SURE TO RESPOND TO BOTH Questions #1 and #2)

{Reflect & Share}:

1. What is a tradition that is unique to your family, how did it start and what does it mean to you in terms of the culture (and values) that shape your family? How does this tradition impact your family communication (either positively or negatively?)

2. Based on the family communication patterns described in the text and/or class notes, which pattern best describes your family when you were a child OR your family currently and why? How satisfying (or not) is this pattern to you (why/why not) and what would you suggest to make communication in your family more effective?
