Summary: Chris and Beth share their story, and some thoughts on raising whole-hearted kids, including the story of meeting on a college campus visit and funny stories of what did not go as planned on their wedding day. When they had their first child, they immediately felt the weight of raising not only a healthy child, but how they’d grow into a healthy adult. They both saw that other cultures have established rites of passages for young teens, but America was lacking in this department. So they established a year long journey for their children to transition from children to young adulthood.<br> About Chris and Beth Bruno:<br> The adventure for Chris and Beth Bruno began 23 years ago, and has included international living, several graduate programs and three children.
