  4. street savvy
  5. mission savvy

A day will come when we’ll be through with leaky diapers, refrigerator drawings, and college applications. Did we keep the main thing the main thing? Raising Savvy Kids brings a long-term, thoughtful perspective about what may matter most: raising savvy kids of strong character.

Kids with Heart Savvy are able to express the full range of their emotions appropriately and constructively. They are aware of how emotions impact their decisions & relationships and can navigate their emotional landscape.

Kids with Body Savvy know how to take care of their physical bodies. More so, they are sensitive to how their physical health can significantly impact their creativity, relationships, and outlook on life.

Kids with Character may look like anyone else. Only when faced with difficulties and decisions does this inner strength shine through. They handle discouragement like a pro, keep their word, value others and themselves, and don’t take themselves too seriously.

Kids with Street Savvy know how to interact with others in a positive way. They know where to go for help and resources, are reflective about trends that impact their world, and are keenly observant about themselves and others.

Kids with Mission Savvy are equipped to accomplish and enjoy the mission they’ve been given in life. Aware of how the world “out there” works and savvy with specific skills, kids can achieve their potential & find meaningful work for a lifetime.

Regardless of your child's age, talking with them about sex is never easy. Unfortunately, this task often falls on the father's shoulders. Since the mothers have to go through childbirth, I suppose it's only fair for the fathers to have the "sex talk" with the children. I mean, the pain of both events is probably fairly equal.

Well guys, it turns out that I got laid off 2 weeks ago.  Though the news sounds bad, I'm taking it as a great opportunity to pursue things I'm most passionate about and to spend some good summer time w/ the kids.  Nonetheless, looking for advice on how to get through the transition & what else to expect.
