Video: Family of Origin-Family Hero

The hero child believes that validation and love of family is in jeopardy, that if she doesn't achieve, she will not receive.

A child’s family is the most important group in his/her life. Through family, we build an image of who we are and who God is, whether correct or incorrect.  Because we are all sinners, our families all have some level of dysfunction, but God is not dysfunctional.  He is wisdom, truth, and always has the correct perspective and a right character.

The four kids of dysfunction:
Hero – super kid, the little parent
Scapegoat – troublemaker
Loner – the quiet one who flies under the radar
Mascot – family or class clown
