ABSTRACT

Existentialist Viktor Frankl talked about the importance of having meaning in our lives. Be­ cause parents can become so engulfed in the everyday task of raising children they often don’t have or take the time to think about what moves them and what they’re on the planet for. In turn, when parents have some meaning in their lives, it can reenergize them, reset their compasses, and help them to see new possibilities for the future.
