How Do You Instill Character into Kids?
About This Video
Summary:
Nancy Norris, wife, mother and community volunteer, talks with us about the high calling of raising kids who have strong character. Nancy's responses are a good reminder that all work can be a high calling, whether that work pays well or not at all. Her reflection about meaning and purpose is part of our new video series "60 Seconds to Signficance." Transcript:

Hospitality. So they get to see what we love and what we do and what we are gifted at. And hopefully that translates into their own lives.
