A good article about helping children grow into leaders

 

Many years ago JoAnne and I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Tim Elmore who is being interviewed for this article.   He makes excellent points about how many parents are trying to protect their children or do what is easy for themselves but in the process are not doing what is strongest for their children’s growth in leadership.   It is so important for parents to take the long term perspective.
