Parenting from the Heart

Chapter One- Forward Focus
Steven Vannoy writes in chapter one, “Sometimes I wonder about certain drivers I see hurling down the highway. While they appear to be looking ahead, they were actually driving by looking in the rearview mirror. We only have a certain amount of energy, time, and potential use of each day. Only we can choose where to focus it. And while at times it may look as if we’re moving forward, most of us are really aiming backward.” Does this strike a chord with you? Sound familiar? Do you find focusing forward leads to handling life more successfully? Your children are listening and watching you as you navigate life. What are you modeling to them?
