Randy Rolfe's Take Home Tips: Each child is born with a passion to be her or his best and we parents must work to not limit their energy or ability to create their own unique place and action in the world. With the multiple roles we all play, it is critical to create a stimulating, loving, and protective environment in which your child can explore, grow, and step into the life that fills their dreams.
