Welcome!

Dear readers,
If you are here you are probably a parent, teacher, or someone who cares about children. The basic question that this site aims to answer is simply this: "What do we want for our kids?" Many of us would perhaps say that we want them to be a success or have successful lives.

There are many definitions of success. Many parents of course want their kids to "do well" in school. Good grades, high scores on state tests, and getting into a certain college are common success benchmarks for many of us. Learning how to make straight A's, ace tests, and earning a college degree are all well and good. Do they, however, guarantee a successful life?

So, what do we want for our kids? How about a healthy body, mind, and spirit? Loving relationships? Prosperity? A sense of purpose? I teach in a public classroom and none of these things are explicitly taught.

I would like this blog to become a resource and forum for like minded people who want more for their children. The four life skill components to a successful life we will focus on are:

1. A healthy body, mind, and spirit
2. Loving relationships
3. Prosperity
4. Purpose

I am new to blogging so please bear with me as I learn this medium. As a parent and teacher I have spent many years researching these areas and in time I intend for this to develop into something very useful. I welcome your input.

I reside in the Jacksonville, Florida area. Some resources I include may be local. Please feel free to post resources available where you live. Thank you.
