"Your child comes into the world with a personality. And your job as parents is to nurture it, try to control it but to direct it in positive, healthy directions." It's a powerful reminder of the vital role parents play in shaping our children today.

In this episode, we hear from Glenn T. Stanton, Director of Global Family Formation Studies at Focus on the Family, as well as an author, researcher, and international speaker. Glenn explores the unique needs of boys and girls and the important role parents play in shaping their identity and character.

From building confidence and resilience to navigating the powerful influence of social media, he shares practical insights for raising children who are secure in who they are.

As you listen, consider this question: Are we intentionally nurturing the strengths and potential already within our children, helping them become who they were created to be?
