How Will Your Children Remember You?

October 28, 2026 · 19 min

Show notes

When your children look back on their lives, what will they remember most about you? Your rules, your advice and your accomplishments — or the relationship you built with them? Mark reflects on how becoming a grandfather changed his perspective on parenting, relationships and the legacy he wants to leave behind. He explains why listening, staying connected and loving your teen unconditionally matter far more than raising a child who always thinks and acts like you. Tune in for a thoughtful reminder that the most meaningful legacy you can leave isn't measured by what you accomplish, but by the lives you touch through loving relationships.

You may not say you demand perfection from your teen, but are your actions sending a different message? Visit bit.ly/three-ways-to-let-your-teen-be-imperfect for more.
