I'm sure you know the feeling of truly connecting. I’m sure you’ve felt those moments of magic. But do you know how to create that feeling consistently? Through my mentors, and then through work with hundreds of parents around the world, I learned that not only is quality time important, but you can create it deliberately and predictably, with just a few simple steps.
We call those simple steps the Board Meetings strategy, and it will help you get below the surface relationships with your children to a true connection. Not only that, it will also keep you accountable and consistent, so you keep improving your relationship with your kids. The Board Meetings strategy will even ensure you can answer yes to the tough questions that run through your mind:
Every parent wants these results, and the Board Meetings strategy is perfectly designed to deliver them. Better still, it's already been tested and proven by hundreds of families around the world.
The parents using this strategy consistently report incredible results. They talk of finding a new joy in parenting. They talk of reconnecting. And, in what I find most moving, they talk of profound changes in the lives of their children, who begin to transform before their eyes.
There are many great stories, but I can't think of a better way to illustrate the power of the Board Meetings strategy than by sharing one from my own life.
We were already several years into the Board Meetings strategy development process when I had the opportunity to use it in my own life.
My chance arrived when I fell in love with Jamie, the woman who would become my wife. When I won her heart, I also got a chance to win the hearts of two beautiful boys; Jamie was divorced with full custody of Alden and his younger brother, Leland.
The boys and I hit it off right away (and I've since adopted them), but I still had my work cut out for me. Both boys, rightfully, had trust issues from difficult life experiences that happened before I met them.
Alden, the older of the two, was especially troubled.
When I met Alden, he’d just been placed on the autism spectrum at school, where he was a very challenging student on the brink of failing. Those were difficult obstacles and we wanted solutions to them, but far worse, he also suffered from night terrors.
