Are Your Words Shaping Your Child’s Identity?

Описание: Words shape identity—and as fathers, the ones we choose can either build confidence or leave lasting wounds. In this episode of Raising Rebels, Joel and Tech dive into the real power of language in parenting. From replacing “don’t” statements with identity-building phrases, to avoiding sarcasm with younger kids, to using intentional anchor phrases that speak value and purpose, this conversation is packed with practical strategies every dad can use right away. This isn’t about perfect parenting—it’s about intentional parenting and raising kids who know who they are.
