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.

I want you to thrive this year, and this blog will help you do that.

  1. I love this! One of my words for the year is nurture. This fits well with that. Printing and hanging on the fridge now.

  2. This is perfect Melissa. I’m printing out and hanging up. Not to mention sharing with all of my parenting friends.

  3. I’m not sure I’m ready to Thrive. My word for 2012 was Survive. I think the one for 2013 will be Emerge. I’m ready to emerge from my hibernation and investigate life, be playful and present, pursue new things, create new habits and patterns. Thrive will come in time…baby steps. 🙂
