In today’s episode me and Nellie discuss the significance of intentionality in raising children. We explore the concept of the 6570 days (the number of days we have with our kids from birth to age 18), emphasizing the need for parents to be present and engaged during their children's formative years. Nellie shares her personal journey of transformation, the challenges of comparison in parenting, and the importance of building connections over control. We also cover the significance of self-worth and esteem rooted in Christ, and how to build this in our daughters specifically.
Takeaways
The 6570 days represent the critical years of parenting.
Intentionality is key in raising children.
Self-worth should be rooted in Christ, not the world.
Comparison can hinder joy and connection in parenting.
Building connection is more important than control.
Vulnerability fosters trust and openness with children.
Every parent has regrets, but growth is possible.
Resilience is essential for both parents and children.
Community and support are vital in the parenting journey.
