I believe as parents and as teachers we need to BE courageous leaders and through our very actions we teach our children and young people how to be courageous. And we need to take time to reflect on just how courageous we have been - how it felt and what results we achieved. If we could help our young people DO this then we are serving them well and obviously serving the world well. We desparately need more courageous leaders in the world - we need to be able to "believe" in people who lead us again as the Global Financial Crisis has left many people disillusioned! Thanks for a wonderful and inspring conversation!

I also like the notion of intentional independence and building in opportunities for kids to be self-reliant. Great thoughts- thanks!

I'm planning on enlarging on each of these items, and will definitely use your inputs. Regarding courage, I think that providing a loving and nurturing home base is the best way to encourage this. Some kids are naturally more inclined to taking on risks, but knowing that someone will love them regardless makes it easier to be courageous for even the most timid. Then, give kids a chance to be independent, widening the net a little bit more each time. Gabriella, thanks for your insight!

"leadership" is fine but perhaps "global citizenship" is more encompassing (especially given your mission "...to make the world a better place"). we want our kids to be both leaders and team players/engagers/activists/partipants...being a citizen incorporates the understanding that we are part of a larger community. i might also include "curiosity" with "passion" since it seems both lead to a creative (and "life-long learner") experience. finally, i wonder how we can nurture courage...our family recently watched the Disney movie "Nims Island" and I was struck by the comment about being "courageous", something like: courage is not something you are or are not but something you choose everyday, in every choice...so how might we best cultivate that? ideas anyone? i really like your mission/values statement — it breaths…
