Are we raising our children Christian? | Parents discuss modelling our faith & core values

from Don't wake the baby! · host Emma and Elliot

An honest conversation about faith & spirituality as parents of babies & toddlers. This is the one where Emma and Elliot, as a husband and wife partnership, chat about our beliefs, our culture, our values, and how we navigate passing those onto our children. Which parts of our faith & spirituality do we hope to nurture with our kids, and how does it influence our parenting with babies and toddlers? We talk about church, god, other faiths, our upbringings, changing perspectives, storytelling, the bible, and how we are trying to pass on our values, even from a young age. We hope it's an accessible conversation, even if you're not a Christian or person of faith. We've tried to offer a balance of being positive and critical; hopeful and honest; embracing past experiences, change, doubt and uncertainty. Disclaimer: Obviously, we do go into some faith conversation in this episode. If that's not your thing, then that's absolutely fine. We don't speak for any church; it's just our perspective as Christians with a very liberal faith. We're not here to tell you what to believe! You do you. We're not experts or here to offer advice, just normal parents bumbling through, sharing our story and thoughts on this topic.
