How to Raise Kids Who Become Great Adults

Andy Andrews

When you ask parents of any background what they want, you will overwhelmingly get this response:

"I want to raise great kids."

Curiously, that is not what most parents actually want. What they actually want is to raise great kids...who become great adults.

Think about it--how many great kids have you seen go totally crazy the second they leave home for college or adult life? It happens all the time. Why? Because their parents gave little thought to the people those great kids would become once they left the house.

It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day challenges of raising children that we often lose sight of the big picture of who those children are becoming.
