It can be quite natural for adults to make decisions on behalf of children. Very often, those decisions may be out of necessity or good intention.

Whatever the case, today we invite you to question the impact that those decisions may have had on you?

In many cases, those decisions had a wonderful impact. Today we query if, even unintentionally, any decisions that were made on your behalf might have eclipsed a part of you.

Jody Hironaka is back again with her researched expertise along with her delightful personal anectdotes.

It's our hope that this discussion may spur your reflection and reclamation.

We also believe that these contemplations may help us to show up more thoughtfully in the lives of others too.
