It is impossible to be perfect, let alone be a perfect parent. The realities of everyday life impact us all. No matter how much experience we have, there is no optimal way to handle every turn of your child's younger years. The independent variables of place, time, situation, family culture, and your child's personality make motherhood the ultimate "think on your feet" job.

This book is divided into four sections:

Part I: Lessen the Lesson, is devoted to the way in which you as a mom show your child the positive pathways through life by the use of example, mentoring, and spoken expectations.

Part II: Teaching the Four Cornerstones of Success, describes the four things you need to teach your children to help them gain a successful life.

Part III: Pace and Push focuses on the daily schedule our family followed and the sequential path of each of our children from childhood to young adulthood which resulted in their scholarships and present achievements.

Part IV: The Empowerment of Mom focuses on the daily practice to help balance your personal life with motherhood and to make your job more manageable so you can achieve with your family as a team as you win your race together.
