On today's episode Jacquie explores kids and the A-word.  It's not what you might have guessed (although that might hold true sometimes!), she is going to explore another essential A-word to raising kids who launch successfull ... Accountability.

By examining what it means for kids to be accountable in today's landscape, and what role we as parents can play in fostering accountability and responsibility in our kids, Jacquie provides some compelling encouragment.  Accountability exists right alongside compassionate parenting and healing our own wounds so that we raise kids who are brave, resilient and responsible, ready to face challenges and live a bold, meaningful life!
