Just like spending time with close friends, we love to share our stories, talk about the things that we enjoy doing, and discuss our passions.
When we create connected relationships with our students, colleagues, and families, we can not only expect great results, but we can also expect more happiness and fulfillment within ourselves.
Relationships are what make being a human special.
However...
Our kids face numerous hurdles to happiness: the physical, psychological, and social pressures of growing up in a changing world dominated by social media and the ‘busyness’ of our lives.
Most adults take their ability to cope with what life throws at them for granted. But that is an ability we’ve had to learn. We can support our kids to develop these ‘executive skills’ from a young age. The sooner we can equip our kids the better.
As adults, we have a critical role to play in helping our kids develop these skills, but we have to make time to do it.
I want to give adults the tools to build strong relationships with their children to help everyone experience success.
