Home Grown Heroes :: Quote of the Day :: Dec 5

    “Today’s parents have to lead with the future in mind—training their children to make it through the attacks of culture while keeping their souls intact. Like boot camp sergeants who prepare their platoons for every contingency, courageous parents groom their children to shoulder the future by leaning into the present. In the book, “Raising Kids Who Turn Out Right” , I isolated six character traits that need to be part of the default drive of our children when they finally head out on their own. They are faith, integrity, poise, disciplines, endurance, and courage. If faith is the foundation of these six character traits, courage is the keystone. Without courage, the other five are going to have a tough time holding up under the moral and cultural pressure that is inevitably going to put them to the test. In most cases, it’s not that our children don’t know the right thing to do in a given situation; it’s whether they have the guts to do it when everything about the scenario encourages them to turn tail and run. Let’s face it, when all hell breaks loose, it’s courage that rules the outcome.”  

  You sense it already. Your kids need courage, or frankly, they may not make it. Without a plan, neither will you. Home Grown Heroes provides practical principles for raising courageous kids. Pick up your copy of “Home Grown Heroes” today and start preparing your children for the future.
