Parenting Our Children to Reach Their Full Potential

What are the most significant things we can do to nurture happy, healthy kids?
We need to create connection on three levels:
1) Create and nurture a strong bond and connection with our children

3) Allow our children to stay connected to their own internal guidance
Create and Nurture a Strong Bond and Connection with Our Children
To help our children reach their greatest potential, we must first create a strong bond and connection with them before, during, and after birth and consistently nurture and strengthen this connection throughout their entire childhood.
