A day will come when we’ll be through with leaky diapers, refrigerator drawings, and college applications. Did we keep the main thing the main thing? SavvyPack brings a long-term, thoughtful perspective about what may matter most: raising savvy kids of strong character.

Kids with Heart Savvy are able to express the full range of their emotions appropriately and constructively. They are aware of how emotions impact their decisions & relationships and can navigate their emotional landscape.

Kids with Body Savvy know how to take care of their physical bodies. More so, they are sensitive to how their physical health can significantly impact their creativity, relationships, and outlook on life.

Kids with Character may look like anyone else. Only when faced with difficulties and decisions does this inner strength shine through. They handle discouragement like a pro, keep their word, value others and themselves, and don’t take themselves too seriously.

Kids with Street Savvy know how to interact with others in a positive way. They know where to go for help and resources, are reflective about trends that impact their world, and are keenly observant about themselves and others.

Kids with Mission Savvy are equipped to accomplish and enjoy the mission they’ve been given in life. Aware of how the world “out there” works and savvy with specific skills, kids can achieve their potential & find meaningful work for a lifetime.

what is everyone planning for mother's day?  And here's a question I
heard today on the radio - what do you get your mom and mother-in-law

Single Malts?

Who out there likes single-malt scotch? Any favorites?

Play with violence

Submitted by riq on May 7, 2008 - 9:45pm.

I could use some reflection from other dads about components of violence in play.  So if the "cowboys and indians" of our era is power rangers or star wars, and--in a few years-- online gaming-- how do you think this kind of play is helpful or harmful?

...the fool or the fool that follows him?

Submitted by riq on May 7, 2008 - 9:02pm.

As a young padawan, the time will come when he will be old enough to watch the Star Wars films with me.  Men of conscience, the question is this: when the time comes, do I
introduce him the the films in order of theatrical release or begin
with episode I?

"We are not raising grass here! We are raising boys!"  As a dad; do you have any dad created, mother disapproved games that you play with your sons and daughters?

Saw this in the news today - apparently, 1/3 of U.S. parents know "surprisingly little" about typical infant development. What do you think?

Our daughter loves "Yo Gabba Gabba" and "Spongebob Squarepants," but she's only 10 months old. Will all those fast, flashing images and quick snippets of information really affect her attention span in a negative way?

Before I was a dad, I remember making a mental list of things I'd never do.  Of course, that list is history...
