Welcome
Culture and technology generate new challenges for parents to maintain a visible and appropriate presence in their children’s lives.
* Cultural influences introduce our children to sex, violence and foul language at earlier and earlier ages.
* The Internet
and mobile phones isolate children giving them increased access to unsafe relationships.
* Legislation that circumvents
the parent such as laws that allow minors to secure medical procedures, tests and treatments without parental consent.
One
and two generations ago, the primary “counter influences” were peers and rock groups. Legitimate authority was ascribed to parent
and teacher roles. Today, authority is more earned than ascribed and we parents are faced with a leadership challenge which
requires us to stay well connected and informed.
Insights and lessons learned for parents who seek ways to strengthen their role in their children’s lives at a time when there
are so many influences straining the parent-child relationship.
* Share information and a common sense of purpose to
counter influences directing our children away from family and core values.
* Pursuit of Truth. Today there is a lot of noise
and interference impacting the parent-child relationship; as a result truth and absolute values are obscured.
* Help parents
achieve peace of mind (whether they are at home or working outside the home).
