07. Deborah Phelps on Parenting, Education and Raising one of the Most Decorated Athletes of all Time
Manage episode 262581152 series 2683716
Deborah Phelps is the mother of Hilary, Whitney and Michael Phelps, one of the most decorated athletes of all time. Debbie, is also the author of “A Mother For all Seasons”, a book I believe is a must read for all parents.
In this conversation Debbie talked very openly about the joys and challenges of raising 3 children as a single mom, while also building her own very successful career. Like some of my previous guests, Debbie is also an educator by profession and by heart and in this conversation she shared many of her principles (“Golden nuggets of information”) for raising kids whether her own or the one in her classroom. We talked about teachable moments, the role of the community in raising kids and much more.
