On this week’s “You’ve Got This,” I talk with Amy Carney about visioning as parents. Amy is a Leadership Parenting Coach™, author and speaker who writes about intentional parenting and family life on her blog, as well as for various freelance print and online outlets. Amy started Parent on Purpose to create content, products and events to better equip and empower moms and dads during the 18-year journey of full-time parenthood. Amy and her husband of 21 years, Keith, are parents to 18-year-old triplet sons, a 16-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son adopted out of the Arizona foster care system.

“You should start with a parenting purpose statement, because if you don’t know where you’re headed, however will you know how to live out today?,” Amy said. “You have to focus on who we want our kids to be ... and we forget to develop the relationships and the character in our home we had wanted to instill in our kids.”
