The EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE Book

NATURE & NURTURE is the book for everyone, everywhere.

Following the developmental process through infancy and childhood to adolescence and then adulthood, Nature & Nurture offers the knowledge and wisdom to respond to daily living with confidence. While humans are considered apex predators in the animal kingdom with the most powerful brains, we are the weakest the longest. This extended vulnerability means we are always dependent on our community for support and acceptance throughout our life. At the same time, self-determination and finding one's voice is deeply programmed in the human mind and soul. There is no greater injury than loss of voice. These seemingly contradictory essentials create a tension between ensuring our personal needs are met balanced with feeling supported by others. This tension is persistent over a lifetime and is a dilemma for everyone at any age. How do we stay connected to ourselves and our support circles?

Nature &Nurture is the book for everywhere. It fits neatly in your tote or gym bag. It sits nicely on your desk or the ottoman in your living room. It presents well on coffee tables in waiting rooms. It is an easy read when you're in the mood for something quick and reflective or profound when you're in the mood for something deeper. The beautiful photography offers soft pauses at any moment during the day, an invitation to reset your system.

Enter the book based on wherever you are at. This book is for everyone, everywhere.

Raising Teens who talk to you

Know Yourself

Although parenting is focused on children, the parent is just as important. Learning how to ground yourself means you have more capacity to help your child deal with their challenges and complexities. You can model for them how to take themselves seriously by taking yourself seriously first.

Know Your Child

Understanding your child from a neurological and biological perspective allows for more understanding conversations. As their parent, you offer them the permission to learn from themselves as you learn about them too. Which tools help them reset their systems? As their parent, what are you discovering about your child?

Real Results

The various authors share real life struggles and transitions that offer next steps. Sometimes change can be a mystery. How does theory translate into practice? Raising Teens Who Talk to You provides detailed examples and direction.
