TransParency:
To Grow Up, Out, & Into Mature Adulthood
Through Your Child, Adolescent, Parent
TransParency, two meanings:
1. Becoming CLEAR all the way through your life so you are seen by
others as having nothing to hide
2. TRANScending Parenthood: KNOWing through & beyond being a
Parent that you are a Person first & foremost
•Helping your Child to grow along with YOU up & out!
•Working yourself out of the job of being a Parent
•Before, during & after you’re a Parent you’re a Person first
•As your Son/Daughter is a Person first & foremost

Choose…YOU!
“You are only as free as you take the responsibility
to be while allowing others to do the same.” Jack
“You haven’t met yourself yet. But the advantage
to meeting others in the meantime is that one of
them may present you to yourself. Examine the
nature of everything you observe.”
Waking Life, the Movie
Choice Theory, William Glasser
“The only person whose behavior we can control
is our own. All we can give another person is
information. All long lasting psychological
problems are relationship problems.”

Open House…but Not for Sale
• Think of yourself as a “HOME” (Ho, Me!)
• You are comfortable with yourself, “at home with yourself”
• You place a sign outside yourself saying:
– “Welcome to my Open House!”
– And just under this phrase is:
– “But I am not For Sale”
