In this second episode of The Parenting Blueprint series, Andy explores one of parenting’s most profound guiding principles: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is grown, he will not depart from it.” This episode invites parents to reconsider their role as guides, not just raising great kids, but preparing children to become great adults.
