56| Raising Adults, Not Just Kids: How to Parent with the Future in Mind

In this episode of Everyday Supermoms, we’re shifting the parenting lens from the daily chaos to the long game—because we’re not just raising kids, we’re raising future adults. What kind of people do we hope our children will become? And are we living in a way that models that vision? Tune in as we explore the mindset of parenting with the future in mind, what skills and values today’s adults wish they had learned growing up, and how we can begin shaping strong, compassionate, and capable humans—starting with ourselves.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Why parenting with the long-term in mind matters

• When adulthood actually begins (and why it's later than you think)

• What adults wish their parents had taught them about life, emotions, and relationships

• The importance of modeling the behavior we want to see in our kids

• A simple question to ask yourself this week: Am I the kind of adult I hope my child becomes?
