Nowhere in the span of our entire life does development move faster than the first two decades. Keeping up with the rapid changes from birth through adolescence is complex and challenging especially if one has no map of the landscape. RAISING OUR OWN gives you a layout of the land to help navigate raising children. If we do our part to raise children well, our families, communities and all of humanity become more enlightened and peace loving. It is a key element to saving humanity.
