You don’t have to be raising children to recognize how much more complicated and challenging it is to raise children today than it was 20 or 30 years ago. Young people today have so many advantages and opportunities, and so many shinny objects to keep them stimulated and engaged. Parents have so many more pressures, responsibilities and distractions than ever before. But, at the end of the day, it is still the job of parents to make children feel valued and loved; instill values; teach them the difference between right and wrong; guide and nurture them to be conscious and honest; to take personal responsibility; and to create a nurturing environment so they can thrive and develop into confident, independent, and caring adults. My guest today has an approach that fits the bill!
