The Day of Decision

It was May 28, 1998. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and I was a hot mess in the middle of the parking lot. It had taken me 7 agonizing minutes to get my toddler and my newborn out of car seats and into an umbrella stroller and a front-facing carrier.

When Ben arms slipped out of the carrier and his head hit the pavement, I knew one thing for certain...I didn't have what it took.

I had spent the last two and a half year's since Sofia's birth, crying, losing it and completely adrift and now there were two of them!

Parenting on Purpose

I needed something more than what was available in the parenting books of the time. I needed to know how to become the kind of parent who could face the chaos of parenting with calm.

I spent the next few years, focusing on myself while learning parenting skills. What I found was that when I gave to myself, I had more to give to them.

And when I entered the workforce, I used these techniques in my roles as teacher, principal and professor. I've been coaching parents to use the same tools I used at home for over 20 years now. It worked for me, it worked for them and I can't wait to see how you use them!

I'm Dr. Luz and I can't wait to walk with you on your journey to Parenting on Purpose.
