Raising children is like an odyssey, full of wonder and woes, triumphs and trials. As parents, counselors, grandparents, and other caring adults, we lovingly strive to support our children to become competent, caring, and responsible adults with fulfilling relationships, and our job is not always easy. We live in a world heavily guided by media and technology, with “screens” increasingly competing for our time and attention.

Fostering face-to-face relationships continues to be the surest path to family happiness, vital friendships, individual fulfillment, and a caring society! To ensure that the significant value of face-to-face relationship is not lost, this guidebook advocates for mindfulness, learning, and networking with others.
