In this episode we are stepping back and thinking about what we want the end result of all this parenting to look like. What do we hope our children take away or look back on with fondness? What values do we hope they carry forward? We are talking long term family values and goals. It’s SO easy to get caught up in the day to day and the minutiae of parenting and surviving, join us as we spend some time getting philosophical and talking about they “Why?” of it all!
