From Dr. Phil's Letter to Parents:
I want to talk to you about family: yours and mine. I know
and feel that as parents, you and I share some very
important priorities. Just like you, I love my family more
than anything in this world and I want us all to be safe,
healthy, happy and prosperous in everything we do both
within our family and as we go out into the world. Cynics
will tell you that in our fast-paced society "family" is
becoming obsolete, that it is just an old-fashioned, lost
concept, getting buried in a busy world of "enlightened"
people. I'm here to tell you that that is not right, not
even close. Family is even more important today than in
generations past, and its erosion is unacceptable. This is
a fight we can and must win. This is a fight we will win if
we just do our homework and plug in. What I intend to do in
Family First is tell you with great precision what you need
to stop doing and what you need to start doing to lead your
family with such a pure purpose and power that the
competing messages and influences are drowned out. I plan
to help you define success and then take the steps to
create and claim it for you and yours. Your children are
the stars in your crown and it is time for them to shine;
it is okay for them to shine and, if you do your job, shine
they will. -- Dr. Phil
