If Americans can bring to the public square the same genius for generational
interdependence they bring to their
family lives, the politics of these issues will become
less toxic and the policy choices
less forbidding.
Addressing cohesion usually means encouraging
families to perform tasks that require greater
interdependence between members, such as holding conjoint meetings every week in which matters related to communication, problem - solving or individual well - being are discussed; or setting up «homework» tasks that require more direct contact between the child and the
less involved parent.
