The Front Porch — a plain-spoken dispatch on raising respectful children, from Vernon DeFlanders

The Front Porch

A short note every couple of weeks. One value, talked through plain. No lectures — just one idea you can use that week.

What You Will Find Inside

  • One value per issue — respect, honesty, kindness, gratitude — talked through plain and simple
  • A real-life moment — a scene you will recognize from your own kitchen table or car ride home
  • One small thing to try this week — not a lecture, not a program, just something that works
  • Word of the day — a way to start a conversation with your child at dinner tonight
  • A recommendation — a book, a toolkit, or a quiet idea worth passing along
