I have been married for 32 years and we have 3 grown daughters. Our family moved a lot while Jeff was in the Army and we were fortunate to live in many different places, but Omaha is home.

What piece of advice would you give parents to help their child(ren) succeed at St. Stephen?
Don’t be too quick to step in when you see your child struggling but rather provide guidance that allows your child to problem solve to gain confidence for the next struggle.
