Parenting can feel like a balancing act of love, discipline, and endless patience. Dr. Daniel Huerta, a licensed counselor and homeschool dad, reminds us that the journey isn't just about shaping our children, it's also about the transformation happening in us. In this episode, Dr. Huerta unpacks the seven traits of effective parenting and offers encouragement for parents to lean into these values while adapting to each child's unique personality and needs. "Parents are doing the best they can with what they have, and I encourage them to look at that. Are you bringing the best you can with what you've got?. . .With that, you get to guide your kids, you get to have a relationship with them. You can give your kids the investment of time and the investment of your attention. That is hard in homeschooling because you've got so many things grabbing for your attention, you have multiple kids that are needing your attention your guidance, then you've got the chores of the house that are right there in front of you. . .that's where the intentionality comes in of how you're going to invest that time to have a relationship. They need you to know who they are."—Dr. Daniel Huerta
