Dedication

First, I am grateful to God who gave me this desire and would not allow me to give up on this book. I’m grateful for His wisdom, love, and guidance throughout every phase of my life. I am especially thankful for His Righteous Right Hand in my family’s life.

This book is dedicated to my husband, Andrew, who has always supported me in everything I have desired to accomplish. He is the leader of our family, and he has walked confidently beside me for over 20 years as we’ve raised our children.

It is also dedicated to my children, Elijah, Andria, and Adrienne. They are beautiful young adults who stole our hearts at first sight and accelerated our maturation process. My God, what did we do to receive such blessings?

The Parent Model is also dedicated to our parents, Dennis and Annie Jones, Andrew and Doris Cooper, Wilbert and Dorothy Adams, and all of the other villagers who helped us to become the people and parents we are today — our ancestors, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and countless other relatives, our military family, church families, colleagues, and friends. Essentially, anyone who has had a hand in helping us along our parenting journey. You know who you are! We love you, and we appreciate you!

Lastly, this book is dedicated to you, the reader. May it profoundly impact you and add value to your family’s life for generations to come.

All the best,

Tamara Bogan & Family
