Children of Paradise: Parenting Tips for Raising Children with Great Values and SuccessLee Hausner, Ph.D. In order for our children to grow into successful adults, they need their parents to provide strong leadership, boundaries, and role modeling. Dr. Hausner will explore with us the importance of creating reasonable expectations for our students. She will share insights from her book Children of Paradise, with ideas, tools, and techniques for parents to encourage their children without placing undue pressure on them.
