Mike and Kristin's passion is helping parents be the best parents they can be. They explain exactly what that means and how that helps children thrive:

• Feeling connected to their culture
• Having discovered their identity
• Recognising past trauma and feeling whole
• Having a purpose and making a positive impact on the world.

To do that they discuss some big principles and specific practical help based on errors that they've learned from the "school of hard knocks"
