What We’ll Learn
The eight-week course is divided into three parts containing a total of around 30 individual modules.
Each week you’ll gain access to a new bundle of between two and four modules to keep the momentum strong and the information manageable.
1
Ensuring Parent and Family Alignment
Part 1 sets the groundwork for all your parenting decisions. With detailed examples and exercises we focus on reflection of your own childhood and expectations of parenthood, how to establish your own family values, the obvious and subtle ways we pass them along to our children, and the large scale “whys” of our behavior and attitude.
From there we look at what success really means for ourselves and our children. (Hint: it has very little to do with the zeroes on your paycheck.) Then we break down the fundamental steps for the whole family to achieve the flexibility, capability, and commitment to achieving that long-term success.

Finding and Engaging the Right Support Team
Part 2 focuses on how to make the best decisions on everything from babysitters to healthcare providers so your children receive consistent care, information, and support.
We don’t raise our children in isolation. At various points we trust all kinds of other community members to coach, teach, nurture, and mentor our children. Making sure those trusted adults are working toward the same goals we are is immensely important.

Interacting and Engaging With the Community
Part 3 focuses on mentorship, relationships with schools, first jobs, and what grandparents offer to the strength and resiliency of our families and communities.
To wrap up the tremendous arch of information, we end the course by reviewing all your exercises and making sure you and your partner/spouse have a realistic plan of action. Your parenting plan is a step-by-step guide to making incremental changes to your everyday family interactions to give your children the best possible foundation for success on their own.

I knew coming in to this course there were ways I could be a better parent, a better family leader, and a better team player; but I didn’t know how. This course helped me learn new techniques. And doing it together got us all in line to go forward.
