Parenting Through Every Season: Letting Go, Growth & Life Lessons

Today, we’re getting personal about our current season of parenting—what we’ve learned, what’s surprised us, and what we love most about watching our kids grow.

But first… let’s talk school drop-off line stress. 🫠 From the chaos of morning routines to the pressure of getting everything just right, we’re learning that when we stop micromanaging, our kids actually learn and grow on their own.

Travis asks Robert: “As your kids move out of the cute toddler stage and into school age, what do you love most about this season of life?”

Robert shares insights from parenting kids at different stages—from toddlerhood to middle school:
🔹 The power of healthy boundaries with friends
🔹 Self-awareness & understanding that friendship tension is part of life
🔹 When stubbornness becomes a strength in resilience & perseverance
🔹 Learning that failure isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of growth
🔹 His daughter’s wisdom: “Just because you’re not good at something in the beginning doesn’t mean you stop.”
🔹 Seeing our kids show empathy for us as parents (yes, it happens!)

This conversation is a reminder that every season of parenting matters—the effort we put in today shapes their future relationships, resilience, and confidence.
