Well, here we go…taking this show on the road! Tuesday, I was honored to speak at the Redwood City Rotary Club, at the invitation of Scott Schwartz of SAS Financial Advisors. I’ve been working with Scott for ten years, and his strategic advice has been invaluable.

Speaking to this group of civic leaders and community builders, I was reminded of how universally resonant the acceptance message is. Hearing audience feedback and answering questions is the juice for me, and this group was really engaged. I was glad to answer one question in particular:

“What do I say to my 13 year old daughter when she sees your book sitting on the coffee table? How will it affect her to read the title, Raise the Child You’ve Got—Not the One You Want?”

I understand your concern about the title, and I hope my suggestion helps alleviate your anxiety. Be proactive. Go to your daughter with the book and explain that you’re reading it because it will help you better understand who she is. This kind of honesty can be the start of a valuable dialogue.

Raise the Child You’ve Got—Not the One You Want is now available online, and soon in bookstores near you!.
