After years of hard work (dozens of proposals in the bin), research, collaboration, and loads (and loads) of anticipation, here we are — publication day! If you pre-ordered, you should have a beautiful package awaiting you today at your doorstep. Because you’ve been an essential part of this book coming to life, I’d like to offer a toast to you, Confident Parents, Confident Kids’ reader…

May you deeply believe in your power to contribute meaning and goodness to the world.

May you deeply believe in your child’s power to contribute meaning and goodness to the world.

May you love each family member deeply and love yourself in kind.

May you dream big for one another and support one another in the pursuit of those dreams.

May you commit to grace and gratitude. Grace for the mistakes we will make today and tomorrow. And gratitude for the care we give as we try, stumble, and persist.

May you embody confidence by listening to and accepting the hearts and spirits of your children through their emotions – even the challenging ones – and do yourself the same favor.

May you recognize and be open to receiving your children’s assistance in your own development as you assist in theirs.

May you leave a legacy of love that will make your ancestors struggles worthwhile.
