Yes, there are some things that come from nature that we cannot protect them from, but most of who they are and how they grow comes from us as parents. We are the most important element in their environment.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Most importantly, we have the power to control this environment. We control the culture of our homes and what’s allowed in; from media, to people, to words. ⁣⁣

How do you find ways to be intentional with your children? Do you set aside time for family night? Do you encourage them to speak life? Share with us below in the comments to contribute your thoughts to this community!👇
