What I Know Now: New Moms, Lessons From a Fifth Grader

(Originally posted by Joy Eggerichs at Love and Respect Now blog ~ reposted with enthusiastic permission!)

Hey friendlings,
We’ve finally come to the finish line of the What I Know Now series, a collection of little videos I made with my parents in celebration of The Illumination Project launch. My mom and pop have been sharing some nuggets of wisdom they’ve learned from different stages of their lives.
My dad may have just written a book on parenting called Love and Respect in the Family, but my mom is just as insightful. And by insightful I mean, “made just as many mistakes.”
No parent is perfect, but hopefully you’ll gain some of the wisdom she wishes she would have known while raising my two brothers.
And even though this video is about moms and their sons, I, the Eggerichs’ perfect child, have something to offer you:

THIS PERFECT CHILD…

What I Know Now: New Dads, Put Pegs in the Floor

(Originally posted by Joy Eggerichs at Love and Respect Now blog ~ reposted with enthusiastic permission!)

In case you’re just joining us, we’re in the last leg of the What I Know Now series.
As The Illumination Project (a 6-week study) was released this month, one of the main points I try to drive home is for all of us to seek wise counsel. So this series is another example of doing that—I ask my parents to share what they would tell themselves at different life stages. We’ve heard some great stories from when they were single and when they were newlyweds and now…
…when they became my parents. (AKA, the best years of their lives)
First up is Papa E, giving advice to all you dads out there who hope to form strong connections with your daughters.
His suggestion? Tell her that you love her, even when she’s an angsty teen who thinks the bedroom floor is her closet. (OTHER THAN THAT, I WAS THE PERFECT CHILD.)

AND THIS PERFECT CHILD…

IS GOING TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING FOR FREE!! 

Because my dad just published Love and Respect in the Family (and because I like you), if you join the discussion in the comment section below, you’ll be entered to win a free copy of the new book!
I’ll send it to you personally and might even forge my dad’s signature…
But watch the video first—I’m watching you.

Single? Married? Check out what the ‘rents have to say to you HERE.
