I want to start by saying that this book is meant to take a look inside our families and to see where we can get the best positive help for our children. We should look within ourselves for answers. As adults, we should be willing to go back when we were the ages of the younger generation. When we think about the different people, we encounter and not just see but really understand what and how these people was a positive part of our lives. Sometimes the very person that we think is the hardest or seem not to care is the person that wanted the best for us.

I really want the readers to look at each individual chapter and see if the chapter pertains to yourself or someone that you know. Our children are made up of us adults, so remember that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. We should remember that each child has their own personality. This is why certain children gravitate toward certain people. When we start to see and understand the abilities in our youth, then we, as the adults, will be better mothers, fathers, educators. I know that we want the best for our children, but what do our children want? After all, it is their life and career that they will be living. Our youth may start off on the right path but drift a little, but with the right guidance, patience, and love, they will be back on track in no time.

The thing that I have learned is that it doesn't take long for our children to grow up. We should keep a close eye on our children and let them be children without so much pressure and responsibility. We should allow our children to explore many different things in life. When we introduce our children to different cultures, they learn so much more about different sports, foods, languages. It will give us a better understanding of who we are as individuals.
