Holly is a mother, grandmother, teacher, school counselor, therapist, and parenting coach. She supports a "parenting on purpose" approach to raising children that has evolved from her own experiences as a mother and grandmother - as well as from the opportunities she has had to teach and counsel hundreds of students in grades K - 12 over the past 42 years.
As Holly puts it, "One of the critical jobs of parenting is to "Spark the Grit" that is in each and every child. Raising adults who are resilient, resourceful, and filled-with-grit takes a great deal of tenacity in today's topsy-turvy world, but it is definitely worth the effort! What could be more fulfilling than preparing our children to deal confidently and proactively with the many life challenges coming their way? It is an honor and privilege to impact not only the lives of our children, but to make a meaningful difference that has the power to impact future generations in a positive way.
