Father and Joe E303: How to Perfectly Raise a Child

In this episode of Father and Joe, the hosts discuss how the relationships we have, especially with those we are forced to be with, like our children, can impact their growth and development. They explore the question of how to raise the perfect child, acknowledging that there is no single answer, but certain foundational qualities, like love and holiness, are universal. They also delve into the concept of affirming love, as described by Conrad Bars, which involves seeing and reverencing a child's unique goodness and worth without desiring to change or possess them. The hosts recognize the challenges of parenting and emphasize the importance of being present, loving, and supportive.
