Building assets in children is not a project or program. It is a journey that should take place during the developmental years (ages 0-20) of all children.

Linda and Richard Eyre

Richard and Linda Eyre are among the most popular speakers in the world on parenting and families.  They are authors of numerous work/family balance and parenting books, one of which, Teaching Your Children Values became the first parenting book in fifty years (since Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care) to reach #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. The Eyres have recently released a new book called 5 Spiritual Solutions for Parents and will debut their newest book, The Entitlement Trap in September, 2011.

They have appeared on many national network shows including Oprah, The Today Show, Prime Time Live, 60 Minutes, Good Morning America and once did regular segments on the CBS Early Show. Their parenting website www.valuesparenting.com provides ideas, guidance and creative programs for families throughout the world.

The Eyres' most important production is their nine children ("one of every kind") who, through the years, have helped formulate their ideas for books and speeches. Richard has a Master's of Business Adminsitration from Harvard University, is president of his own management consulting company and is a ranked senior tennis player. He was a mission president for his church in London and a former director of the White House Conference on Parents and Children as well as a candidate for Governor. (Linda is so glad he didn't win!) Linda is a teacher, musician and co-founder of International JoySchools.com, an in-home program for teaching preschoolers the joys of life. Both have served on numerous arts, university and non-profit boards.
