7. "Spoiling" vs. Godly Giving

from Walk Beside Me · host Brooklyn & Trenton Bird

Where is the line between "spoiling" your child and simply being kind to them? Is there some kind of magical limit on the number of times we can give our children what they want before they become "spoiled"?In this episode, I'm challenging traditional fears surrounding spoiling with five scripture-inspired principles:Instead of worrying about "spoiling" your child, focus more on strengthening (and not spoiling) the relationship.God invites us to ask for things. We can likewise welcome our children's requests.God says yes pretty much all the time. There is always some way for us to say yes.God never gives from a place of fear. Neither should we.God never gives in order to control. Neither should we.Scripture References:Matthew 7:7James 1:5Isaiah 58:9Doctrine & Covenants 46:7Alma 34:18–27Follow along on Instagram:instagram.com/brooklynmbird
