The $5 gift that lights up her world

 The quality of your life is determined by the number of difficult conversations you're willing to have

 There are a LOT of ways to look at any given situation. What is your choice? Something understanding and uplifting, or gloom and doom? Your choice is reflecting in your child's life. Choose wisely.

 Building the foundation for a happy productive adult-to-be is not easy or quick... but it's worth doing. Your children will thank you later.

 Say it often... "I Love You". Back it up with your actions. Stop spending money, start spending time.

 Make the transition to a new school easier for your child. Get involved in the school if possible, know your way around, set expectations for your child and prepare them to succeed on day 1.

 I believe in you, I love you, I am proud of you because... these are all things we need to say regularly and frequently to our children. Today, I'm going to discuss "I am proud of you because". Watch your children's faces light up when you say exactly WHY you are proud of them.

 We don't know the long term ramifications of our daily actions. Good actions will produce long term good outcomes, and bad actions will produce bad. Stay in high integrity and do your best every day and the world will become a better place because of it. Do your part and trust.

 I don't allow my clients to get away with it, nor do I let my kids or their friends. It takes a little extra time, but it's worth it to get direct answers about situations.

Trust is a two way street. Of course you want to raise children that you can trust, but you must act in a way that your child can trust YOU too. Children may not hear what you say, but they certainly watch what you do!
