What are the strengths of your children? What are their weaknesses? Are they responsible, or are they dependable? What would they do in a situation if...?

If you haven’t asked yourself these questions about your child before, then it is time to start before it’s too late.

Education is important, but character even more so. And it starts in the home.

Children are a direct reflection of their upbringing. How they handle themselves, unexpected problems, setbacks, rejection, or the harsh reality of the world all depends on how and what they were taught. It’s a big but important task, and you may even feel unqualified for the job, but this navigational guide is all you will ever need.
