How do we protect a child’s innocence in a world that celebrates rebellion and dismisses goodness—without shielding them from reality?
A grandmother recently told me her biggest fear: "I want to protect my granddaughter's innocence as long as I can."
She wasn’t talking about sheltering her. She knows the world is changing fast. Even in second grade, her granddaughter has already been exposed to conversations about drinking, drugs, and other risky behaviors.
We can’t control everything our kids are exposed to. But we can prepare them. We can guide their attention to what is good, strong, and meaningful. If we don’t, the world will—and it doesn’t always have their best interests at heart.
I’ve seen firsthand that kids who know their worth don’t need to be shielded from the world—they instinctively rise above it. They make choices that align with their identity, because they’ve built an unshakable foundation of confidence and self-worth.
In my latest Substack, I share my approach for raising resilient, confident, and kind kids who can navigate today’s world with clarity and purpose.
