Thousands of books and resources are available to help family members revive, repair and maintain family relationships. These materials are replete with tips on how to communicate better, resolve conflicts and make decisions as a family enterprise and an enterprising family.

laughter.

at
them. What you are striving for is good, clean humor. If someone isn't laughing with you, don't make them the butt of the jokes.
