#347: Connection Over Performance
School is a huge part of your child’s world—but it can also become a huge opportunity for connection.
In Episode 347, Don and Suzanne talk about how parents can connect with their kids through school without becoming their homework police. Instead of focusing only on grades, assignments, and performance, learn how to get into your child’s world, use the in-between moments to connect, ask better questions, and pay attention to who your child is becoming.
Your child’s school experience is about so much more than a report card. It’s an opportunity to help them grow in wisdom, character, resilience, relationships, and faith—and for you to walk alongside them as they do.
Because you can pursue achievement without sacrificing connection. And when you have to choose, don’t sacrifice the connection.
