I Choose to be a Lighthouse Parent

The resources on this page can serve as reminders of the kind of parent you choose to be.  

As the world sends you different messages about what "good" parenting looks like, these reminders can serve as your anchor of what matters to you.  You can also share these messages with other caring adults so they can move towards an approach to parenting that research has proven creates the best emotional, behavioral, and academic outcomes for young people.

Critically, this approach also strengthens families.  More than research, this balanced approach returns us to the longstanding common sense approach to parenting - children need both our love and our watchful - but not overprotective - guidance.
