“The days are long, but the years are short” ~Gretchen Rubin

Changing the world through how we raise our kids.

Every day, it seems like the world gets crazier, and we worry about our kids growing up in it. Wars, political infighting, and natural disasters are now a constant in our lives. Added to all of that, pop culture targets our kids and often glorifies destructive behavior- it is a very powerful teacher.

But we have more power than we may realize. We can turn the tide of the world by being deliberate about what happens in our homes. We can help educate our children’s desires by teaching them to love good things, work hard, and value learning. We have the ability to create the culture of our home; to decide what comes into it and what does not.

We become what we consume. Let’s give our kids the best of education and entertainment.

When we deliberately tend to our children’s education, teach values, carefully choose what comes into our home, and use downtime wisely, our children will learn more. Their hearts will be touched more. They will be better prepared for the future. And then… not only do we become our children’s best asset and prepare them to be successful adults, but we also enable them to become a powerful force for good in the world and make it a better place.

Imagine a world where children who are taught self sacrifice, honesty, service and hard work grow into adults. Imagine how they will change politics, business and entertainment. Imagine how they will treat our natural resources. Most importantly, imagine how they will treat others. This is how parents can change the world- by raising kids who are counter culture. Join me, as we raise our children deliberately, together.
