A family tree in four seasons. What does it mean?It means you have more choices to pick from. The differences are in the color, the size and number of leaves. In Spring, the leaves are light yellow and smaller size as they are blooming. In Summer, the leaves are green and size bigger. In Autumn, the leaves turn colorful. In Winter, few leaves but more rooms for names, and the leaves are covered with snowflakes.
Our family trees are unique. It is upside down with the family trees you could find online! Below are six special traits in our family tree art:
OUR FAMILY TREE ART
Our family trees are unique. It is upside down with the family trees you could find online! Below are six special traits in our family tree art:
Natural Tree Structure
1.
If you think of a tree in nature, you must have roots at the bottom, then you have the trunk, and then that trunk eventually branches off into main branches which in turn branch into smaller branches. And that splitting process keeps going on and on until you reach the leaves.
We design your family tree the same way with the natural tree structure. Older generations at the bottom as roots and trunk, younger generations on the top as branches and twigs. Younger generations are above older generations. You would hardly find any family tree online that emphasizes the real structure of the tree and displays parents, grandparents and ancestors actually on the roots. The family trees you can find online would be upside down with ours.
Below are the unique diagrams for our family trees.
Natural Tree Shape
2.
When we think about our environment, most natural objects and creations around us are not absolutely symmetrical. Like the trees in nature are asymmetrical, every family tree in Good Childing is in natural tree shape.
Educational Purpose
3.
Our family trees are educational tools. Through diagraming the relationships of our family members and relatives, to identify our roots of our life force, and to inspire each person in the tree to take care of parents, to make our life tree flourishing.
Good Childing trees are neither for medical history purpose and health record tracing back DNA purpose, nor to find ancestors and family history stories. We focus on taking actions to reconnect to our parents and our living family members, in order to be grounded to our roots.
Imagine a tree in nature. When a tree’s roots are damaged, critical functions of the tree’s system are disrupted. As such, it can exhibit a variety of visual symptoms to indicate that something is wrong. Symptoms of damage to your tree roots include:
-
Leaf wilting & dropping
-
Twig and branch dieback
-
Poor growth
-
Leaning
When this happens, you must give your tree a thorough soaking, especially if the season has been dry, so its roots can better take up nutrients from the soil.
MAKE SURE THE TREE GETS ENOUGH WATER. AERATE THE ROOTS. APPLY ORGANIC MATERIAL, INCLUDING MULCH OR COMPOST. PROVIDE THE TREE WITH SUPPORT.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR TREE’S HEALTH
Now, imagine your family tree in real life. When your parent-child relationship is estranged, as the child, you are disconnected with your life root, and as the parent, critical functions of the family system are disrupted. As such, it too can exhibit a variety of visual symptoms to indicate that something is wrong in your family tree. Symptoms of dysfunctional family include:
-
Self-centered children, who are takers from parents
-
A one-way street family, where parents are always the giver
-
Money troubles
-
Unhappy in life
-
The breakdown of supportive relationships among family members
-
Intergenerational relationships missing
When this happens, you must give your family tree roots—your parents and older generations—a thorough soaking by lighting them up, showering them with caring and loving heart, especially when you are an adult, so your family roots can better take up your loving energy.
MAKE SURE YOUR PARENTS ARE WARM IN WINTER, COOL IN SUMMER; ENOUGH MONEY TO USE; ARE FED WELL; WAKE UP WITH A SMILE; SLEEP WELL; ARE FILLED WITH PEACE OF MIND AND JOY.
When you do this, you are grounded and reconnected to your family roots, your family problems would be gone, and your family tree would be flourishing!
Uniquely Extended
4.
The extended family tree includes aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and their spouses from both paternal and maternal sides. You can’t find any tree online that does the same thing with our family trees.
In Your Language
5.
These trees can be designed in any language. Just submit your family names in your local words. We can copy and paste these names to work on them.
Customizations
6.
No family trees are same! Because each family is different, and has a different amount of children. Our family trees are fully customizable to fit each family. The tree is rebuilt each time. It would not be exactly the same with the sample displayed. Each tree in Good Childing is custom-made with an extra work, which is different with ancestor trees. Each ancestor always has two parents, so ancestor trees are always in the same format reproducible.
