Have you ever made a recipe -- but forgot a key ingredient?  Or maybe put in the wrong ingredient?  One time, I left salt out of a cookie recipe.  It was pretty bad.  Another time, I accidentally put salt in instead of sugar.  It was awful.

Ingredients are important.

So, what are the key ingredients to help instill in a child?  To help them thrive?

Let's face it:  we will be adding ingredients, whether we mean to or not.  That's just what happens in the parenting process.  The question is whether we are intentional about the ingredients -- and if we have the RIGHT ingredients to put in.

Our goal:  A Thriving Person.

The starting point: A child learning to thrive.

Listen to this week's podcast for the 5 key ingredients to raising a thriving child.
