Book Excerpt: Empowering Parents

"From birth to pre-school, middle and high school, parents must make wise choices about who will influence on their children's education and also play a role in shaping their character.  It does take a village to raise a child.  The key is determining who forms that village.

As parents, it's our responsibility to know the people that come in and out of our children's lives each day.  That includes relatives, friends, and their parents, neighbors, teachers, principals, school staff, bus drivers and employees.  All of these people influence decisions that our children make each day.

Our children are precious gifts from God.  It's up to us to provide a safe environment with a disciplined structure that includes appropriate consequences to help them learn and grow to be independent adults."
