The one parenting skill I'm working on [Episode 351]
Description
Do you ever find yourself responding to your children in ways that don’t align with the parent you want to be? As I navigate through pregnancy with our fifth child while homeschooling through Georgia’s cold winter days, I’ve found myself struggling with patience and tone - especially when cabin fever sets in.
In this weeks episode, I open up about:
- One parenting skill I’m trying to master right now.
- How a moment of frustration with one of my kids led to an unexpected heart-to-heart.
- The simple, yet profound principles of maintaining respect even when kids make bad choices.
- Why this approach encapsulates so much of what I’ve learned from countless parenting books.
I’m not sharing this as someone who’s mastered respectful parenting - far from it! This is my real-time journey of growth alongside my children, inspired by divine guidance when I needed it most.
For those feeling stuck in reactive patterns or discouraged by family tensions, this episode offers a gentle reminder that parenting provides endless opportunities to grow beyond our automatic responses.
