Rites of Passage: Rooted in Real Experiences, is a powerful and deeply personal guide for parents who want to raise grounded, capable, emotionally intelligent kids in a world that rarely slows down long enough to teach them how. Drawing from lived experience, hard‑earned wisdom, and his Seven Pillars that shaped his own journey, Clark Morey offers a roadmap for helping kids grow through challenge, responsibility, and meaningful transitions. Through stories of loss, leadership, fatherhood, and identity, he shows how real growth happens: not by protecting children from discomfort, but by preparing them for it with clarity, compassion, and courage. This book gives parents the tools, language, and rituals to guide their children from dependence to independence, and to walk their own rites of passage along the way.
