A: ... it is the opportunity to give Love. The love we have for our children is unconditional. This love is unparalleled. And that is a privilege we will never get anywhere outside parenting!
In 2017, our lead content developer made a discovery: "Young adults on college campuses were not prepared for life in the real world."
So we thought deeply and started diagnosing the problem.
There were issues we found - individualism, over-busy working parents, digitally-driven loneliness and the lack of a sense of community in our generation. Teenagers struggle. They get to the universities with fairly little or no direct understanding of the significant things in life.
Then, there was the issue of post-structuralism which meant that nothing is really right or wrong. "Truth" is now in the eyes of the beholder.
In effect, the natural question came up - how can we get our children and teens to learn the basics?
The answer was to create a framework that puts parents at the forefront to exchange important ideas to steer children through to their late teens and adult lives.
Many Parents know almost nothing about their children. We just look at the superficial elements and what appears before our eyes. However, hidden beneath the obvious, we conveniently ignore.Â
There is a lot to learn and understand about our Children so we can diagnose their strengths and work with them to fulfill their potentials through life.
We identified these key pointers:
1. At the very least, Parents need to know and understand the basic features of their children's competencies and abilities.We checked the markets and found that most parenting books are prescriptive. They set standards that are idealistic and do not really give parents the opportunity to present their own experiences and views to their children. This was what gave us the impetus to put together the My Parents Legacy Series.
The My Parents Legacy Team has a presence on four continents.
