Starts at Home

Parenting can be the most challenging and rewarding job there is.

Starts at Home encourages parents with children under seven years of age. You’ve heard it said it “starts at home”.  Children don’t come with instruction manuals.  Starts at Home are people who love parents and children, who are devoted to helping children achieve the best in whatever God given talents they have.  Parents are empowered to teach good attitudes and skills like faith, sharing, obedience, honoring parents, reading, math, memory, budgeting, and other practical life skills. etc. We believe that parents whether married, single, or custodial, can teach children and protect them against the temptations they will face in the world like, unhealthy eating, sexual permissiveness, illegal drugs, internet safety, selfish pride, and excessive materialism.

We have a lot of work when it comes to loving the children and encouraging parents. There’s a lot of traumatized children out there.. Charles Manson is an example; they grow up without the love of nurturing parents and eventually release their ugly anger. In Hawaii, between 1960 and 2007, violent crimes increased more than 2,000%. The poverty of no love and rejection can lead to many forms of mental illness. With hope, faith, and love, we come to serve.

We are a group of individuals, businesses, organization working together to help families because children are not born with instructions.  For more information on the group see the Organization in this website.
