51. Teaching Wisdom When You Feel at Odds with Your Child

Welcome back to the kitchen table. This week, Bethany is joined by her husband Troy to talk about wisdom and the role it can play in gospel-centered parenting.    As parents, we often feel at odds with our children, and too often, we find ourselves arguing with our children, causing strain on our relationships. Bethany and Troy provide experience, advice, and scripture that will help you parent confidently and in a way that points to God.    Instead of parenting in the realm of right vs. wrong, Bethany and Troy instead guide us in helping our children understand the role of wisdom in making decisions. They visit ways to help our children grow in their journey with God rather than focusing on their ability to produce positive behaviors.    Bethany and Troy give concrete ways to communicate with your child on whether decisions are wise or unwise. Using wisdom challenges your child to think through the process and reflect on the positives and negatives of their choices. In turn, this encourages conversations of decision-making and wisdom between your child and God.    You can head to Bethany's website to share comments, questions or to drop a quick note. You can also subscribe to her newsletters for encouragement, free resources, new content, and more.    You can also find Bethany on Facebook and Instagram @bethanykimsey to share some of your favorite moments or maybe some of your most difficult moments of motherhood.
