Teach happiness too. I don’t mean to pick on private schools; I believe that they have the resources to provide many opportunities for children but lack, in many cases, a longer-term vision and plan for our children’s well-being.

I See You. Parenting is painful, especially if we try to force and control it. On the other hand, it’s exuberant and transformational if we stay centered in love and trust. Easier said than done, I know. It begins with an artist’s eye and a good question: how do I see my children as an […]

Does Time Manage You? Are you sick and tired of running out of time? Does it seem like there is never enough? Did last year “go really fast”?
