Who holds the primary influence over your girl’s worldview, behavior patterns, and relationship with the Lord? The quick answer might be: “Me!” Does the evidence match the intention in your family calendar? Outsource parenting has become a cultural trend among hyper-scheduled families. Carted from one activity to another throughout the day, kids ultimately only spend 15 minutes with their parents.  

By God’s design, you are the primary discipler of your girl. Even if it means making huge changes to the calendar, carve out a family life putting you back into the guiding seat for her faith walk.  

Seeking out activities that encourage time together like American Heritage Girls can deepen your relationship rather than disconnect it. As you regularly connect with God and your girl, His work in her heart will grow healthy roots.
