Uplift Families

WELCOME TO UPLIFT FAMILIES!

UPLIFT FAMILIES is my initiative to connect parents with information, resources and programs that help them acquire knowledge and skills to raise loving, responsible, and happy children.

We believe that strong parent-child relationships are the key to providing children with tools and encouragement to make healthy and safe choices in their lives, keeping them free from drugs, alcohol, violence, crime and pornography. This UPLIFT FAMILIES program includes web-based resources, social media experiences, educational materials and periodic conferences on parenting and family issues.

Please enjoy our new website and resource center! We are always eager to hear your comments and feedback, you can always share your thoughts with us by clicking here.

Sincerely,

Building Resilience through Family Traditions Traditions connect families across generations and over time. When possible, consider arranging time for multiple generations to come together. As you gather to share traditions, your child can learn about where he comes from, his cultural or religious heritage, and your family values as you teach him how to prepare special foods, hunt or fish, climb a mountain, milk a cow, or play kick the can. Your child can learn to make Aunt Beth’s scones or Grandpa’s secret sauce, whether Auntie or Grandpa is still around or not.

Small rituals, repeated daily, become a solid bedrock of resiliency to ground your child’s connection to you and his family. Daily routines offer rich opportunities to create comforting, familiar patterns and expectations: how family members greet each other in the morning and when they return home, how they say goodbye, how they get ready for work, school, meals, and bed. Snack time, dance parties in the kitchen, bedtime stories, sharing highs and lows of the day while you and your child do the dishes or make the beds together, walks around the block—there are endless possibilities for all different ages and interests.

What challenges are you and your family facing today? Some kinds you pretty much have to expect: whining, complaining, arguing, playing too many video games, spending too much time on social media, or hitting puberty. Others are ultimate challenges: death, divorce, integrating new family members, sexually transmitted diseases, addictions, or suicidal thoughts. It can be overwhelming to think about dealing with even a single one of these, and yet, realistically, you can expect to face a great number of challenges both big and small as your child grows up. Many parents wear themselves out running from one problem to the next, chasing solutions for each one.
