Helping Parents Succeed
It’s hard to find a book on spiritual parenting that can be used by any parent of any faith. A book that can be applied universally regardless of religion.
But one book really stands out and it’s The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents by Deepak Chopra.

When he has temper tantrums, nothing can stop him. Not even when his request is fulfilled.
This has become worse after our trip recently.
Before things get out of hand, I’d better look out for some solutions.

Here is a sure-fire way to get you on that path quickly.

My daddy and mommy took me and my sister for a vacation in Kota Kinabalu (adults call it KK), Sabah, Malaysia. It was my first time on a plane.
To try to jot down this wonderful (sometimes scary) experience, I have written a chronicle of events of the trip.
