Fantastic day at YPO's Real Estate Rountable in #Dallas. Hard to beat hearing from former President George W. Bush this aftenroon but the thing that stuck with me today was from pollster Frank Luntz. For all of you younger parents... He had 6 insight tips on how to raises healthy and successful children: 1 - How often do you dinner w/ your children? 5 nights or more you show your child they are the most important thing in life. 2 - How often do you take them to religious services?  3 - How often do you check their homework? 4 nights or more is what is needed.   4 - Do you take your kids away for trips and leave the phone in the room? 5 - Do you know where they are on Friday + Saturday nights? Do you know who their friends are? If they lie to you about that… then…  6 - Do they participate in a team sport? Get 5 of 6 of these down… You are more likely to raise successful and healthy children. Now... off to Palm Springs for ICSC's Western Dealmaking! #CRE #conferenceseason

2024 PRIORITY 4️⃣: Enhanced Exploration of Upstream Issues | Rather than a holistic approach to the whole child and whole family, systemic silos result in the disjointed compartmentalization of human beings— obscuring harmful impacts and unintended consequences across systems.

Imagine preventing children’s entry into the foster care system, as well as the potential downstream impacts of homelessness and incarceration. We believe this is possible.

I loved this article for long-distance grandparents. This is another side of globally mobile families - those left behind. Seeing the increase in support for them, helping each side of the long-distance family relationships better understand each other, is wonderful. "If you lived near your grandchildren, you’d likely be spending time and money creating memories with them. From a distance, you can’t enjoy trips to the park or weekend family dinners. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t carve out time during your week to connect with them though!...Whether you are a distance grandparent or not, your experience as a grandparent depends on how much effort you put into the relationships with your adult children and grandchildren. If you want a close, lasting relationship with your grandchild, you need to commit to making the effort. But as long-distance grandparents around the globe will tell you, the reward for that effort is priceless." Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gMCrBCfK .

Working with your board and council is key to aligning strategy for the future of your community. A reminder that in our industry, an open mind is one of the best things a board, council or court member can bring to the table. Grateful to have that in a community where I work AND live. #medc #mckinney #mckinneytexas #mckinneytx #pipeline #projectpipeline #development #economicdevelopment #land #landdevelopment #strategy #strategicthinking #strategicplanning #boardretreat
