Don Long, coach and mentor, says the foundation to a life of fulfillment starts when we understand and nourish the things that fascinate our children. When we stop the battle between being a friend or a parent, we can help our children be successful long-term. He learned a philosophy, ask yourself, "would this matter when they're 25?" if it doesn't, let it slide. If it does, correct it. Focus on what matters, character, foundation, honesty, integrity, etc.
