In a discussion based on her book, Brave Moms, Brave Kids: A Battle Plan for Raising Heroes, Lee Nienhuis offers encouragement and advice to moms who are worried about their children whose faith will be tested in a world that’s become increasingly hostile to Christianity.
John and Danny show how kids need to learn how to be content with what they have because when parents give them everything they want, often that stuff just adds to clutter around the house.
Paying the right kinds of attention to your children is easier when you become more aware of each child’s personality and temperament.
When it’s time to clean out the house, we might think we need to start with the kids’ rooms first, but John and Danny say we can’t only point the finger at the kids for having too much stuff, because most of their belongings come from us parents.
Sometimes we can feel like we’re taking one step forward, and two steps back when it comes to communicating in a meaningful way at home with our families. John and Danny emphasize how that dance doesn’t have to lead to disaster. Featuring Dr. Mike Bechtle. Find us online at focusonthefamily.com/parentingpodcast or call 1-800-A-FAMILY
