Quotables:
- “Parents: Be the guide and not the hero. You are already your child’s hero and you always will be. But, if you fulfill the hero role in your child’s life, you rob them of the right to become the hero of their own story.” – @justinbatt
- “It’s never too late to start being intentional with your kids.” @justinbatt
- “I don’t leave much to chance because I only have one chance to be an intentional dad. I only have one chance to be successful at parenting. It’s the most important thing in my life, and I want to encourage other dads to make it the most important thing in their lives, too. Sometimes all takes is a little bit of perspective and insight to be able to put it in place.” @justinbatt
