The THRIVE Manifesto for Parents
We create learning environments in our homes.
We each are responsible for educating our children.
Our goal is not wealth but to raise inquisitive, capable children with perseverance and passion.
We teach through who we are.
We reflect, ponder, and grow.
We ask for help when we need it.
We do hard things.
We are creative beings.
We are learners.
We are beings with choice.
We show our children who we are.
We stop and listen.
We learn along side our children.
We celebrate hugs.
We laugh.
Our enthusiasm about anything is contagious.
We treat people with respect, including ourselves.
We set boundaries with toxic individuals.
We are mindful of our environment.
There is no right way, but many ways.
We never arrive –we journey.
We know our strengths and delight in them.
We are authentic.
We are vulnerable.
We act with integrity.
We collaborate.
We smile.
We encourage.
We give.
We love.
We adore ourselves and our kids.
We are not alone.

Acceptance has been my word so far. I love this article. Printing it up!
thanks, Vicki. I love your word!
This is great, Melissa. I picked “happy” simply because it was the first word I said this year.
Cheers to happy!

Lily.
Love this!
thanks, Lisa!
THRIVE is a fabulous word. I hope to encourage, nurture and inspire my girls but more than anything I want to smile, laugh and embrace all these fleeting moments. It’s so easy to get caught up in “stuff” – I want to get caught up less in all the things that do not matter and spend time with those that do – my family. Looking forward to growing and learning along with you this year my friend.
I hear you, Bern – let’s help each other be intentional and mindful of those moments. 🙂
