Summary

What does it take to raise a child who is confident, kind, and responsible, a child who you know will make good choices and will grow into the amazing person they are meant to be, even as they start to venture out more on their own? Meet my son Carter, 13 (almost 14) with big goals and dreams, scholar, musician, athlete and all-around really nice kid and hear the biggest things things I did throughout his earlier childhood (and still today) that are helping guide him towards his happiness and potential.
