About the Common Sense Way to PArent
Practical Parenting for Raising Responsible, Resilient Young Men
Welcome! I’m Lish Lafferty, a proud mom of three boys, navigating the rewarding (and sometimes messy) journey of parenthood. Like you, I want to raise my sons to be strong, independent, and accountable—ready to take on the real world with confidence and character.
But let’s be honest—parenting today feels like a minefield. With endless distractions, shifting values, and a culture that doesn’t always prioritize responsibility, it’s easy to feel like we’re fighting an uphill battle. That’s why I created The Common Sense Way to Parent—a no-nonsense, real-world approach to raising boys with grit, discipline, and integrity.
