I had a great conversation with John about raising girls and how important dads are to the process. I totally agreed with him. Dads teach girls their worth and how to be treated. He shows this by how he treats her mother. Then I commented about Audrie and how I need to keep John in our life for a long time. He is one of her positive role models.
The conversation then turned to raising children and raising them up, not pushing them down. Choosing life and love over death and hate. Empowering them and how words have all kinds of meanings.
It was a good reminder to watch how things are phrased and how tone sounds. We have such a big impact on our kids and sometimes we convey things we don't really mean when we are tired, angry, overwhelmed. Thanks John for the conversation and the things to think about.
