What parent hasn’t struggled trying to help their kid(s) find their strengths, their passion? What parent doesn’t worry when their kid(s) are going through life without direction, playing video games, watching tv, and complaining about being bored? It happened to me. I finally “got lucky” when my boys did find their passions. It sure would have been easier had I had Thrively.com. We have “Teach” aka Angela Maiers with us for a Back2School night at #DadChat this Thursday August 7, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. The topic is what MATTERS to our kids and how Thrively may be THE TOOL to help guide us to find their passion and strengths.
