CONFIDENCE
Levi, define confidence in your own terms.
Examples:
In third grade, we enrolled you in a new school– talk about that process
When you’re scared, worried, or anxious, what do you do?
“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” Matt 7:3
How do you stay confident in school?
You play soccer– how do you have confidence under lots of pressure and stress?

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference Parenting is hard work. It requires tons of boundaries, daily consistency, so much awareness, as well as lots of patience, grace, wisdom, and filters. Combine that hefty list with all of life’s demands and others’ voice may become louder than yours in your child’s life, increasing their anxiety, fears, and doubts.
Healthy parenting is about seeing yourself as your child’s #1 teacher, saying the right words (or nothing at all) at the right time, and having the right tools to be intentional and impactful. Guessing your way through life, which is what most parents do, is a recipe for failure, but following the lead of someone who has two decades of research-based information and fully understands the demands of parenthood is a recipe for a full life— for you and your child.
