PARENTING WISDOM

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Effective parenting wisdom: Model what you want to teach. Connect with love before you correct. Mindfulness and presence overcome imperfection. See the good inside, not just the behavior. Create values and independence. Respect and trust them as unique individuals. Build lifelong relationships of trust.

  • The most powerful thing you can do as a parent is to live in harmony with your highest values.
