The words we repeat become the beliefs our children carry, and sometimes we don't realize what we've taught them until years later. Bestselling author Jon Acuff, our resident goals expert, returns for his seventh conversation with Ginny Yurich to share insights from his new book, The 3-Minute Mindset, including a parenting mistake that changed how he thinks about the power of our words.
Jon challenges the endless cycle of rules and restrictions, sharing why giving children meaningful goals can be more effective than simply limiting distractions. He explains how paying his daughters to read classic literature helped create a love of challenging books, and why small, consistent actions matter far more than waiting for the perfect routine.
From learning to be interruptible to recognizing that everyone is figuring life out as they go, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on parenting, personal growth, and the extraordinary possibilities hidden inside ordinary moments.
