Lisa Merlo-Booth highlights how essential it is for parents to work on their own emotional well-being in order to raise healthy children. She reflects on how her competitive nature unconsciously influenced her kids and emphasizes that personal growth not only benefits parents but also sets the foundation for their children's development.

Quotes to ponder:

"I can’t raise healthy children unless I’m healthy. I can say all the right things, read the right books, watch the right shows, etc.; however, I can’t bring my children farther along than I am myself."

"As I continue to gain internal strength and confidence in myself rather than in what I do, my children gain a similar strength."

"If we struggle to hold ourselves in warm regard, we teach our daughters to do the same."
