380. Lessons for My Younger Self: Rhythm and Routines But Not Rigid Rules

Welcome back to the kitchen table. If Bethany could tell her younger self one thing, it would be: rigid rules aren’t what your children need. What really helps them thrive is routine and rhythm. Looking back, she sees how God’s order in Genesis 1 and the reminder in 1 Corinthians 14:33 that God is a God of peace, not chaos, shaped her understanding of parenting.Bethany’s children feel secure when they know what to expect.
