The following intentions, although not always perfectly fulfilled, give us guidance in our mission.
Grounded in Reality While my children may put me on a pedestal, I have my feet firmly on ground and acknowledge my own strengths and weaknesses.
Demonstrative Love I take time to know and understand best way to communicate my love to each and every child. My children see my love for my wife clearly expressed.
Mutual Respect. By honoring and never ridiculing thoughts, emotions and actions of my family, each member clearly experiences and understands my great respect for them.
Consistently Predictable. My family is comforted and anchored by my predictability. My deepest values are consistently demonstrated in my speech and behavior.
Predictable Spontaneity. My family knows that I am extremely curious and love to explore and learn. My spontaneity is consistent. We plan with flexibility, and children look forward to unexpected adventures.
