The opportunity to partake of a Father's Day do-over came around a lot faster than I thought. And it taught me a thing or two about fatherhood (& Steve Nash) more

SavvyPack: Raising Savvy Kids of Strong Character

  1. heart savvy
  2. body savvy
  3. character
  4. street savvy
  5. mission savvy

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? Raising Savvy Kids 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.

Laid off & looking for advice

tony's picture

Well guys, it turns out that I got laid off 2 weeks ago.  Though the news sounds bad, I'm taking it as a great opportunity to pursue things I'm most passionate about and to spend some good summer time w/ the kids.  Nonetheless, looking for advice on how to get through the transition & what else to expect.

Mommy's progression into labor seems to have halted, not sure what to do.

Last week when my wife went to see the doctor she was 1-2cm dialated and things seemed to be progessing. She just went to the doctor again today and she is at the same point. Now the doctor wants us to think about when to induce.

How do I get my wife to come to grips that she's not strict enough?

I love my wife and all, but she is totally missing it with our 3-year-old daughter.  She lets her get away with whatever she wants.  How do I get my wife to stop making excuses for our daughter misbehaving all the time?

Over praising your children detrimantal to their development?
