Great Book

Just listened to a great audio book called "Screamfree Parenting" by Hal Edward Runkel. I think the principles can be applied to all relationships.

My favorite take-aways are:

1) We need to invest in developing ourselves to become calmer and more unflappable leaders that empower our kids (employees, partners, etc) to become thoughtful and accountable individuals that make responsible decisions on their own.

2) The very freeing concept that we are NOT responsible FOR our kids decisions and actions (we cannot control what they do, we don't want to control what they do, we don't want to create robots); We are responsible TO our kids to be calm, mature and help them become progressively more independent decision-makers.
