Our aim is to share inspirational thoughts and discussions related to the role of a parent as an educator and guide, so we can support children to grow through the many challenges of life and to help them turn these challenges into moral victories. Through conversations with parents and teachers, we will learn from their lessons, and share how we, as parents, can plant and nurture the seed that will make a lasting impact towards our children's’ purpose.
