Family Life

**Mock Wedding 2008**

Family Life is an interesting class which takes a personal journey through the roller coaster of life. Students begin by looking at themselves and their personalities. The students participate in several varieties of personality tests to gain a better understanding of them. Once they understand who they are, they can begin to build relationships with others. The first types of relationships we analyze are our families. Students look at birth orders and personalities associated with each birth position. Then students study the different types of love, dating and marriage. There is a unit on communication and its importance on relationships. This year we have incorporated a ‘mock wedding’ into the curriculum which taught the students the importance of time management, communication skills, and budgeting. The students reached out to the community for assistance and the community responded positively. The mock wedding is a highlight of the family life curriculum. The course ends with the discussion on stress and how to identify it and cope with it. Student learn about the pros and cons of divorce and how to handle divorce with children. The course ends with information on death and dying and coping skills associated with both. Life Management provides a wholistic overview of life.
