We're Chad and Vanessa- parents, advocates, community members & the founders of AddyPresLifeSTYLE & AddyPresFoundation. We REALLY care about our communities, how they educate and bring purpose to our children's lives and how they share values that matter for the planet we are handing down to our own two little people. We've noticed that the world has gotten a little unbalanced, seriously polluted, and technologically fast paced--- which isn't really conducive to the pace of childhood or the ability to be mindful in life's moments as parents... not to mention the effects on our planet. YIKES! It's actually quite stressful for families these days and that's showing up in the number of children who struggle through the anxiousness of the lifestyles we expect them to keep up with and the world challenges that continue to surface.

We've taken notice that our children's ability to be children--- to move at their own pace, to take in and beautifully process all the world around them--- learning, exploring & creating has been replaced with frantic schedules, less purpose & intention in what we teach, overuse of technology, the burden to excel with unrealistic expectations at younger and younger ages and little value for our mother earth's ability to sustain us all while she struggles frantically to regenerate herself. Not just our children are feeling these impacts, as parents, the same media driven world and lack of values in what is REAL, is affecting our ability to have joy as we succumb to phantoms of what we think we should be living up to. These and many other factors seem to be stealing laughter from families in all walks of life and contributing to really, REAL world challenges... and we just aren't fans of this at all!

What Are The Answers to Bring JOY back to Families, Connection in Communities & Balance to our Planet?

Well, I wish we had this answer, but it's pretty darn complex really. We think it would help to slow things down a bit, Our Families need a refresh, educators need support and our Communities could use a big fat HUG. These challenges are affecting every pocket of America no matter what creed, color, orientation, demographic...we're all in this together and this has us standing in attention as Pandora's Box continues to reveal layers we never anticipated finding. Interweaving dynamics of families, education and communities all sharing the same concerns and all seeking the answers. There are great numbers of people who care about the magnitude of these ripple effects and we mean to hold their hands to work toward the solutions, one step at a time, knowing everything is interconnected.

How we educate and prepare our young people creates the world we all live in--- and HERE lies the answers for a better world. So we acknowledge the concerns and we put value in building human beings who possess competencies and skills that parents and families have always known builds good people, science now acknowledges this as the best opportunity we have to give our children the tools to solve our world's challenges.
