The Power of Presence
If you're a parent, you have no doubt experienced a moment or two when you wonder if you're doing the best job you possibly can. I actually believe that's a good thing, because, the way I see it, if you're actually concerned about the job you're doing, that means you care. And if you care, that's a great place to start.

A really big part of what we can do with our kids to get them headed in the right direction is to observe those things that they are gravitating toward, and those things which they seem to have a “knack” for.
