This is perhaps the area where I am tested the most on a day-to-day basis. As an engaged parent of two young girls, ages nine and six, I (and my wife) get constant practice at working toward becoming the parents we ultimately want to be. Young kids will do that for you. I think each of us would say that we want to be more patient. Maybe some would say they want to be more loving, or maybe you want to give your children more of your time. So, if you want to be a parent with one or all of these qualities, what is something you can do to start to get there? What can you do this year, this week, today? Once you take action in one or all of those areas, you can realize your goal of personal growth in parenting and your children can have the parent that every kid deserves.
