One Purpose…Inspiring and Empowering Families, Teachers, & Caregivers

We are fortunate to live in a time when technological advances

have enabled us to uncover the answers to many questions about the nature of humanity, life, and the development of the human brain, personality and psyche.

As research from the new fields of epigenetics and social neuroscience is confirming, everything in nature is connected. Thus everything we think, say, do and experience, has a real and lasting impact on everything around us, most especially our children – even as they are forming in the womb, and before that.

One Purpose… One Passion… One Promise…

Never before have we had so much information available to help us understand the myriad subtle influences that shape children’s development – from their happiness, health, personality, resourceful-ness and IQ to their beliefs about themselves and the world around them, which ultimately inform their attitudes, responses and behavior. And never before have we had so many resources to draw upon to help us make intelligent, informed choices as to how best to inspire and empower our children and us to achieve our full potential on every level.

INSPIRED PARENTING’S purpose is to deliver this critical information to busy parents, families and caregivers in a relevant, and easy to understand manner.

One Passion…Educating the Hearts of Families and Children

There’s no denying that academics, athletics and extra-curricular activities are central components in a child’s upbringing. But as neuroscience is revealing, it’s the social and emotional aspects of learning – their Emotional Intelligence (EQ) - that determine a child’s happiness, security and future success in life far more than physical prowess, educational accomplishments or IQ.

New research into brain devel-opment, attachment and the

impact of stress in utero confirms that pregnancy through age five are the most formative years in children’s lives. Good social and emotional skills are critical in healthy personal development. They build resilience and a positive sense of self while reducing the likelihood of engaging in risky or anti-social behavior.

They also support educational achievement, employment and earn-ings, and relationships in later life. Studies show that when children do not get these advantages, they do not fare as well as their more advantaged peers. Strong social and emotional skills and the ability to handle their feelings well derive from a loving, supportive family and a breadth of positive experiences in childhood.

Families are the bedrock of society, as well as the best place for nurturing happy, capable, resourceful and emotionally balanced children.

We believe that all children have the potential to succeed and deserve the opportunity to go as far as their talents can take them. INSPIRED

PARENTING’S passion is to empower and inspire families and caregivers to achieve their full potential in every possible arena.

One Promise…Principles And Profit

• To empower children by providing the adults around them with fun, engaging, informative opportunities to move beyond their own and society’s cultural conditioning to perceive and interact with children in fully conscious and empowering new ways.

• To support, inform and empower families, educators and caregivers by creating a trusted and authoritative resource for the latest insights and research on raising physically, emotionally and psychologically healthy, happy, resilient, conscien-tious and caring children.

In short, INSPIRED PARENTING will focus less on fashion than it will on leading edge articles on fearless topics other magazines can’t publish for fear of alienating potential advertisers.

So, if you’re interested in learning more about your children’s brilliant brains, their tender hearts, sensitive souls, courageous spirits, and the myriad external factors that influence their physical, mental, emotional and psychological health, well-being and behavior... Welcome to INSPIRED PARENTING.

Our Give As We Grow Program

As a company, our ethos is quite unique.

INSPIRED PARENTING is much more than simply a quarterly print magazine; it’s a powerful and comprehensive Online Resource dedicated to providing parents, caregivers and educators with a trusted and authoritative “one-stop-hub” for all their needs.

In the “give” mentality, the philo sophy is fundamentally different. It’s more about “What value can I provide to this person so that he or she feels they’ve not only received honest value; but also feel valued

“The ultimate goal in life is not to be successful or loved, but to become the truest expression of ourselves, to live into authentic selfhood, to honor our birthright gifts and callings, and be of service to humanity and our world.” — FREDERIC LALOUX, Reinventing

Organizations: A Guide to Creating

Organizations Inspired by the Next

Stage of Human Consciousness.

Although staffed by professionals with solid national and international magazine experience, our magazines, of which INSPIRED PARENTING is the first, do not conform to any “cookie cutter” formulas with directives from “corporate” or multinational advertis-ers. INSPIRED PARENTING has a lot of latitude in deciding the best way to operate in order to provide an impor-tant resource that meets the needs of parents, caregivers, and children in the local community and our larger global family. That makes community giving really special and fun. We’ve decided to adopt the “Give as We Grow” mentality in not waiting for profitability before we give back to our communities.

themselves?”In our first year, INSPIRED

PARENTING will be giving back a % of its net earnings to Agape Inter-national, an LA-based, non-profit Youth and Family organization. In future years, we will ask our readers to help choose a charitable organiza-tion to which they would like us to “Give As We Grow.”

Imagine a child that has been raised by parents who consciously cared for its physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs from the moment of its conception…

Imagine a young adult that has been empowered from birth to develop conf idence, compassion, empathy, resourcefulness, and self esteem…

Imagine a family that connects with each other from a heartfelt space and communicates using words that empower, nurture and uplift one another, rather than language that blames, shames and wounds…

Imagine a school, a neighborhood, a community that is never lost for an appropriate, loving and empowering response to everyday situations…

Imagine a planet f illed with mindful compassionate beings who respect the connection between all things, who value the earth’s resources, treasure the environment, and are committed to nurturing the unique gifts of all children…

It all begins with the way we raise, nurture, parent and guide our children…
