Years ago, as new parents, we looked around at the common cultural concepts of "good parenting," and were not pleased with much of what we saw. We set about to find for ourselves a better way. Through the years we have developed a unique parenting paradigm that works because parents feel empowered with principles and children feel honored and valued. These ingredients create an environment in which the family can live together joyfully.           After our children left home, we became committed to help other families catch the vision of principle-centered parenting. For the past 20 years we have presented seminars and workshops.           We have written an award-winning book, Living Joyfully with Children. In addition, we write magazine articles and mentor families.           Primary to all of our presentations is the assumption that children deserve a childhood in which they can live safely, not only physically, but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. And further, that childhood be designed and maintained as a place for the child to be protected, cherished, and especially, to be joyful. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have two children and three grandchildren.     Home    About Us      Our Book/Interviews      Articles/Vignettes      Seminars/Mentoring      Questions/Answers      What's New?      Contact Us
