Dr. Barnes has a doctorate in counseling and received his education at Maryville College and Florida Atlantic University.

Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids. Children are hyper-aware of money, and they have scores of questions about its nuances. However, when parents shy away from the topic, they lose a tremendous opportunity—not just to model the basic financial behaviors that are increasingly important for young adults but also to imprint lessons about what the family truly values.

Parenting on Purpose
Support Sessions
Attention POP Alumni - We are committed to supporting each person/family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, as parents, it's challenging to plan ahead or fit self-improvement into our already jam-packed schedules. The good news is that we can schedule time for a Parenting On Purpose Support Session (POPS) led by Brenda Williams, a wise and amazing mother and grandmother who is committed to growing families. Reply to this email to schedule your session today.
