How can parents help children value learning while giving them room to make mistakes? John and LaCinda Lewis join Jared Taylor and Lindsey Lundeen to share lessons from their own upbringing and from raising eight children. They discuss balancing high expectations with love, encouraging each child’s interests, and finding opportunities to learn through reading, work, and time together. Along the way, they share a story about a garden, uprooted tomato plants, and a reminder about what matters most.
