This is such a good question to keep coming back to. Ours is definitely not so well crafted. But my husband and I do often challenge each other with the question “does this choice reflect what you actually believe and want to be about?” And gosh. It’s hard.
My daughter is just finishing up 6th grade and it’s brutal out there. We have been incredibly intentional on “ everyone’s invited “ . By nature my daughter includes which i love. Also we think and pray and daily navigate how she is impacted by the friends she has.

YES. That's gold. Love that y'all challenge each other in this way.

I love that you're intentional on being inclusive and that it's engrained in your daughter, too! Middle school is SO rough.
