I began writing short essays about parenting when my nephew Tanner was born.  (Tanner graduated from Caltech in 2020 and is working in the aerospace industry.)

My intent for this section of Growing Leaders is to organize those essays into the same three areas as the tools for your students and for yourself.

 

PARENTING on PURPOSE:    A Collection of Essays on Intentional Parenting

Perception + Attitude = Experience

 

PERCEPTION OF PARTNERSHIP:

 

ATTITUDE of SERVICE:

Parenting on Purpose tells how my nephew Tim and his wife Monica dedicated themselves to their role as parents – and demonstrated their attitude toward their new job.

 

EXPERIENCE of JOY and CONNECTION:

When I thought about a story that might speak to a mother’s soul Memory Pictures bubbled up.
