Within each and every person lies the power to create deep meaning from all of life's experiences.

That every person no matter what age has value to add to a relationship.

Every person needs to be heard.

There are answers to be found in every behavior, the behavior is telling you something. The hard part is listening and looking past the immediate situation to the answers.

Everyone has challenges in life as well as gifts and talents beyond our present situations...sometimes beyond our wildest dreams.

Children discover the mystery of who they are by being encouraged to express their creative spirit within to come out and play, a freedom of self-expression and joy in living occurs naturally.

Our child’s future is in part what we are given to work with (not always under our control), and in part what we give to our children, the gifts, talents, support, encouragements and experiences (many choices are available to us). No matter what your history is, you can create an individual that is better and stronger than ourselves, an individual that is confident, self-assured and proud of themselves in everything they do.

Each person is a dynamic, changing, thinking individuals. Parents are the protectors and need to support and give guidance when the challenges are to great.

We are not meant to be looked at as individual characteristics but as a whole, "the sum of the parts is great than the whole". Instead individual pieces, we are intricate, complex, multi- faceted individuals with highly specialized characteristics. We all require nurturing, love, a place to belong and the safety to make mistakes before we can thrive and grow. When a child’s needs are met, they will naturally grew. Yet in this busy world that we live in with so many choices and so much information bombarding us from everywhere we may not be clear about what those needs are for our children. Sometimes you need an outside perspective to help you focus on those things that are truly important and valued.
