Parents remain the most powerful and important influence in their kids’ lives. Many parents lose sleep over their responsibility, wondering if they’re providing the right boundaries, discipline, and examples to ensure their children have a bright future. Author, Monica Swanson combines years of research with personal stories and step-by-step, practical advice in her latest book, Raising Amazing: Bringing Up Kids Who Love God, Like Their Family, and Do the Dishes without Being Asked, and joined me to share some of her most practical advice for how YOU can raise amazing kids. Instead of being overwhelmed by the growing challenges family’s face, Monica cheers on parents to pour into their kids’ lives in a way that inspires them and shapes them into young adults they are proud to launch into the world.
