Episode #62 - The Collapse of Parenting by Leonard Sax - Part 2

In this episode, Andie summarizes the second half of "The Collapse of Parenting" by taking a deeper look into the formation of virtue and reason in a child's heart and mind.

Join the discussion and think through how you are forming virtue (or lack thereof) in your children!
