Parenting, who knew? Who knew how much harder it was going to be in this generation compared to “back in our day”? In raising the kids and holding the family together, the challenges and intersectionality of so many complex vulnerabilities have created dynamic obstacles to creating a facilitating relational family experience. Families require multiple incomes to survive financially. social media, technology, hyper-scheduled kids, social and political divisions, COVID, the number of distractions, disruptions and demands go on, making the time with our kids, being parents and being a family more limited than ever. We have less time to be a family, to be a parent, This requires us to not be accidental or coincidental but INTENTIONAL in our approach to the most important thing for our world today.

Intentional Parenting is a mindfulness-based approach to family leadership that incorporates a review of the basic challenge and confusion facing families today, 20th-century parents, parenting 21st-century children in this socio-political technological economic context, post-pandemic. What is required for the family to be an effective place of belongingness and thereby development is the immediacy of authentic parental presence with a clear understanding of the purpose of parenting and family; preparing the child to thrive in the world on their own terms independently.
