It’s a job billions of people have undertaken that affects the future in unimagined ways, shaping the hearts and minds of every human being on the planet. It is a job with profound implications for those who do it, as well as those who are the object of it.
Though parenting affects so many, there are few avenues of preparation before a parent is On Duty.
Purposeful Parenting presents a dozen brief sections that a parent might not have yet considered. It's designed to be referenced in short increments for the busy new parent.
New and experienced parents should read Purposeful Parenting because parents have to grow, too. As much—or more, perhaps—than their children. They have to grow faster because they’re the one with this job.
Approach parenting with a purpose. It’s important.
