Summary: The root of "cultivate" is "culture" and is a thing to be developed and grown. Our family culture is not something we perfect overnight. The culture in our homes is a thing that we practice, a thing we promote and foster. Parents are actively engaged in promoting an intended culture that will optimize the development of the family. That does not mean it is concocted or fake. A family culture is intentional. Your default behaviors and habits can be shaped when you want to intentionally change the environment of the home.
