What do you want your children to know? What skills or attributes do you feel it most important to nurture? Like many parents, I want to know how other moms and dads answer these questions. “I want to raise white children who are agents of justice,” says one very progressive friend. “I want to raise feminist boys,” says another. “The most important thing is that I raise my kids to have a relationship with the Lord,” says an old pal.
"Work on the things that don’t come easy but work especially hard on the things that do."
Sounds counterintuitive at first, but it's totally not. I appreciate this bit of wisdom!
