Creating a family mission/vision/core value statement helps us make choices with a purpose. This is the topic first addressed in the book, Becoming The Parent You Want To Be, by Laura Davis and Janis Keyser. They write how this framework can guide our parenting choices. "Creating and holding a vision is critical to us and to the health of our families. When we know what we are striving for, we have a yard stick by which to measure our choices and actions as parent. We learn to enact our values in the present and project them into the future." (p.3)

EXTRAS
Becoming The Parent You Want To Be, by Laura Davis and Janis Keyser is a book that I read when I first became a parent, and before I started teaching parenting education. I had forgotten all about this book, until a colleague reminded me of it. When I picked it up again recently, I realized that this book helped form many of my parenting ideas. I like how it addresses the fact that all parents are different, and every child needs to be parented in their own way. It is a fabulous resource that is worth picking up, or checking it out from the library.
