Every week we would switch who taught the lesson. We would also study scriptures as a family and go to church every week. Between these different ways is how I learned about religious matters.]]> 2021-09-23 16:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/u1252535/ic231jqx4bj7rg0n/wish/1763505988 What was the attitude toward the elderly? u1252535 https://padlet.com/u1252535/ic231jqx4bj7rg0n/wish/1763527979 Growing up we spent a lot of time visiting my grandparents on my mothers side. We were taught it was important to have a relationship with elder people. We would often be encouraged to talk to my fathers parents over the phone (they lived in Mexico) even though we had not met them in person. My parents always strived to have us serve the elderly and befriend them. I would often visit the elderly nearby my house and talk to them about the stories of their life.]]> 2021-09-23 16:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/u1252535/ic231jqx4bj7rg0n/wish/1763527979 In general, would your family be classified as formal or informal? u1252535 https://padlet.com/u1252535/ic231jqx4bj7rg0n/wish/1763542762 My family would definitely  be classified as informal. I grew up wrestling with not just my brothers but my dad as well. We would always joke and laugh at the dinner table as well. My dad at first glance seems like a quiet and reserved man but around the family he is open and goofy and my family is very similar in that way. My mom has always been friendly and loud (latinos tend to be pretty loud) and hates formal settings.]]> 2021-09-23 16:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/u1252535/ic231jqx4bj7rg0n/wish/1763542762 Was conflict dealt with in a direct or indirect manner? u1252535 https://padlet.com/u1252535/ic231jqx4bj7rg0n/wish/1764848730  I think generally conflict is dealt with directly. It's very common in a latino household for the parents to be very direct with their children (the Spanish language uses a direct form of request). Growing up my parents were very good at calling us out if there was any conflict between my siblings and I. However, my parents tended to be more indirect when there was conflict between them. This has driven me to be more direct with my wife in resolving conflict.]]> 2021-09-24 04:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/u1252535/ic231jqx4bj7rg0n/wish/1764848730
