Question - Watch very interesting Ted Talk about the changes in Family Decision Making and answer the questions below.

For the past ten thousand years, the parent/child balance of power has been hierarchical with the moms and dads making most decision and kids following their lead. But in the last ten, a new generation of Millennial parents have replaced the family hierarchy with a family web: one in which most parents view their child as their best friend, moms and dads have abdicated as the primary seat of power, and most decision making is democratic. In short, the core values that guide families' choices on everything from the brands they buy to the candidates they vote for look nothing like those of previous generations. In his talk, family branding guru and founder of The Family Room LLC George Carey takes a closer look at these changes, their impact on children, how they are changing the future of families, and the future of our world forever.

1. What does it mean to "be your kids' best friend?" Do you agree with this idea? Were you raised as your parent's "best friend"? Will you raise/or are you raising your children to be "your best friend?"

2. Explain democracy and collaboration as it impacts family decision making? Do you agree with this family decision making process?

3. What are family passion points? (what do families really care about?)

4. After 10,000 years of being structured like a hierarchy, modern families have shifted to a web. What is meant by this? (healthy lifestyle, family branding campaigns, future of social advocacy)

5. Do you believe parenting has gone to far in making our children an inclusive part of the overall decision-making structure?
