Opportunity Quotes

• When parents see their children's problems as opportunities to build the relationship instead of as negative, burdensome irritations, it totally changes the nature of parent-child interaction. Parents become more willing, even excited, about deeply understanding and helping their children. . . . This paradigm is powerful in business as well.

We can't hide behind a wall.

It's an amazing privilege to get the opportunity to work with your children.
