0:00.0	Welcome to the Raising Boys and Girls Podcast. I'm Sissy Gough.
0:07.1	I'm David Thomas. And I'm Melissa Trevathan. And we are so glad you've set us out a few minutes
0:12.5	to spend with us today. In each episode of this podcast, we'll share some of what we're learning
0:17.9	in the work we do with kids and families on a daily basis at Days Are Counseling in Nashville,
0:22.4	Tennessee. Our goal is to help you care for the kids in your life with a little more understanding,
0:27.6	a little more practical help and a whole lot of hope. So pull up a chair and join us on this
0:32.0	journey from our little yellow house to yours. Raising Boys and Girls Podcasts is brought to you

1:44.6	And I have been doing more studying around that lately. And you all heard me say in our
1:51.4	episode on being an intentional parent. We've just seen that be a really valuable tool for parents.
1:56.3	And it has been for me just helping me see all of how I relate to those around me. And
2:03.7	you all heard sissy tell on that episode that we're both Enneagram once. And the name given to
2:09.6	the one is the perfectionist or the reformer. We see everything that's wrong in the world. And we
