parenting principle #1

September 17, 2023·▌family

this quote has stuck for a while.

It doesn’t matter where I heard it (YouTube).

It’s powerful in its simplicity. Raising a child is perhaps the most complex journey of all, but success is likely governed by few principles.

And this is one of them:

“Your job as a parent is to teach your kids to be the masters of their environment, not to fear it.”
