THIS is the Most Important Parenting Question | Rich Griffith

विवरण

On this episode of Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, Rich Griffith shares a powerful shift that can transform the way you parent: instead of asking, “What do you want to do?” the better question is, “Who do you want to be?” Through his experience as an adoptive father and leadership expert, Rich explains how this one question reframes everything—from discipline and communication to trust, identity, and faith formation. When parents focus on who their child is becoming, they move from control to connection and from behavior management to true discipleship.
