Background - Kimberly Eckert
As seen on Global.
Our kids are very precious, complex, wondrous beings. As parents, our hearts’ desire is to see our children competently face life’s challenges, by raising kids with high levels of emotional intelligence and critical thinking skills.
We are a new generation of parents, committed to attaining knowledge about forging relationships with our children based on authenticity, acceptance of emotion, and respectful communication.
Leaving such a legacy does not happen by accident. What’s the secret of raising confident children? How do we pass onto our children a faith in themselves and their future? How do we help them accurately assess their capabilities, maintain a sense of control over their lives, and build in them the desire to plan and expect to achieve their goals? How do we support, not hinder, their sense of self-worth?
