Genogram

I started the genogram the other day and I thought at first that this project was going to be boring and a lot of work. I began to realize that it is actually a lot of fun. It does take a lot of work but I think it is neat to look at my family on paper. I’ve never done that before. When I was getting ready to start this I was thinking that my family is going to be pretty boring but once I get going on it I notice that my family is more interesting than I thought! Even if your family is kind of boring you can add more functions to show how they get alone and make yours more in-depth. It takes time you have to sit down and really think of each member of your family separate and how close you are with them and everything. The hardest part for me is probably getting everyone’s birthdates. Also what’s neat about this project I have told a few family members about it and they are excited to see it when I’m done and I think that I will end up keeping this project for awhile. It would be fun to store it away and see if any of things on there had really changed. I would think that 10 years from now my families genogram would look different for sure. I think that would be fun to look at it in ten years with my family and talk about everything all the differences!
