Parent Builder
- Life Song values family connections that create environments for parents and children to thrive. Parents are the heart of family—they start it all! How they step up to manage and lead impacts how this essential family team functions through life’s ebbs and flows.
- Life Song engages individuals and couples to become the parents they want to be.
- Life Song supports parents through Parent Builder Retreats, couples’ coaching, workshops and learning events -- and helps them discover…
- What do they want “family” to look like at their house?
- What do they want for their kids and for themselves?
- How can they make all that happen?
