Correction without connection breeds resistance—prioritize relationship over being right.
When kids say “I don’t know,” it’s often self-protection—create safety by managing your reaction.
You can’t control your kids, but you can control your access to resources, opportunities, and permission.
Sibling relationships are training grounds for love—don’t settle for conflict as the norm.
Leading your family well means owning your mistakes, leading with humility, and choosing connection every time.
