“I really implore parents to think about, ‘What do I want them to take into adulthood?’ Definitely worth, esteem and confidence. Everyone in the world needs those especially if they want to fulfill a successful, fulfilling life. But what else, right? What is specific to you that you want to bring to the table? You can start to put goals forward, and as your child matures and grows, you can start to get their input on things and mold in this beautiful foundation that is going to be their specific, only-made-for-them foundation of worth, esteem and confidence that you work on first for her or him, and then together, as they get into the second half of childhood. So that’s that vision piece right there.” – Nellie Harden
