    Jun 13 2026
    What if the most important parenting skill isn't teaching... but listening?

    In this powerful episode of Amplify Hope Today, Simon T. Bailey shares a personal story about his daughter Madison, a difficult season following divorce, and the parenting lessons that transformed their relationship.

    As parents, it's easy to become fixers, protectors, and problem-solvers. But Simon discovered that meaningful connection often happens when we stop talking and start listening.

    In this episode, you'll learn:
    • How to build stronger relationships with your children
    • The difference between listening and advising
    • Parenting lessons learned through divorce and family transitions
    • Why daughters need emotionally available fathers
    • How to strengthen trust and communication with adult children
    • The importance of validation, affirmation, and encouragement
    • Why "roots and wings" matter more than "loot and things"

    Whether you're a parent, grandparent, mentor, coach, or caregiver, this conversation offers timeless wisdom about connection, communication, leadership, and love.

    If you're looking for parenting advice, fatherhood encouragement, relationship-building strategies, or ways to become more present with the people you love, this episode is for you.
