Parenting Young Adults
Parenting is a lifetime invitation that evolves through every life stage. In this episode we explore what stays the same and what changes.
Parenting kids with unique needs
When we have a child with unique needs, getting a grasp on accurate expectations for our child, ourselves, and our family can be challenging. While there are definite similarities to how we parent all children, the process tends to be more demanding and exhausting. Listen in and take time to consider how you are being invited to experience God's faithfulness.
Challenging Kids and Behaviors
Spirited. Strong-willed. Challengers. There are different names we use to identify the children who seem to be more difficult to raise. There are also challenging behaviors of defiance and resistance that show up in all kids, even those who are generally more compliant by temperament. How can we love and lead both types of kids well and not lose our sanity?
