I am of the ‘every little bit helps’ school of thought. Here is a simple idea that lets everyone help with the oil spill clean-up. Besides… an actual CONSTRUCTIVE use for dog hair. (I’m only able to get rid of so much as ‘nesting material’ for the spring birds.)
Seriously — this seems like such a simple idea. Does it really work?
Everyone loves their kids. We want to see them grow into prosperous, self-reliant, fulfilled adults who reach their goals and give to others. But what separates high-achieving adults from those who fail?
It’s not all genetics, talent or luck. It’s something that every parent (or grandparent or foster parent or coach or teacher or mentor) can provide. It’s the Four Foundations.
In What Kids Need to Succeed: Four Foundations of Adult Achievement you’ll see that high achievers share a common childhood experience: four critical life lessons were passed on to them in their early years.
After all, you’re not raising a child…. you’re raising a future adult. Thanks for joining us. Please share your thoughts about raising good grown-ups.

A giving heart starts young!
