We all want to “launch” successful, caring young adults into the world…

But what does that even mean?

How do we even start to figure out what that looks like?

And how does what we do today impact what kind of adult our children will be tomorrow?

Here at Parent on Purpose we will empower, guide and motivate you to answer these important questions and much more…

Welcome!

We have an over-parenting epidemic in this country.

We want to give our children “the best,” but without realizing it, we’re giving too much. Buying too much. Doing too much.

Yet we aren’t doing enough of the little things that are most important when it comes to equipping our kids to become capable, confident and compassionate adults. I’m on a mission to help moms and dads reclaim leadership, make the tough decisions, and parent today with tomorrow in mind.

I hope you’ll join me.
