Emotional Regulation and Guilt As a Parent

In this episode of Asian American Parenting, Monica and Danny discuss the important topic of guilt in response to failure as parents. They also share strategies for regulating our own emotions as parents so we can help our children do the same. This conversation touches on losing one’s temper as a parent, feelings of guilt and shame, and how to move away through those common experiences to genuine repentance in Christ. Parenting as a Child of God Gospel Astonished Parenting “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies” (1 Cor. 6: 19-20). “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” (Rom. 6: 1-2) Follow on Instagram @therootedministry. Subscribe to the Rooted podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
