Ep. 44: From Bedtimes to Breakups: How We Talk With Our Kids About Real Life Stuff

NEW SEASON IS OUT TODAY! And it might be my favorite one yet!Parenting doesn’t come with a script. And our kids don’t come with a manual. We’re thrown into parenting scenarios we have no idea how to handle and conversations we’re not prepared for. And these conversations often happen not when it’s convenient, but when we’re folding laundry, driving to practice, or they come knocking when we’re already asleep.    In this first episode of Season 5, I share the heart behind this season’s new series From Bedtimes to Breakups: How We Talk With Our Kids About Real Life Stuff. I share with you what inspired it (hint: you did!), why I don’t talk to my kids, but with them, and how that small change in approach, built trust and safety between us and our kids, made us closer with them,, and opened the door to countless opportunities to point them to the hope they have in Christ.You’ll hear why these everyday conversations matter, what I want my kids to always feel when they walk away from our hard conversations, and why there’s no substitute for your voice in your kids’ lives! We’ll talk about everything this season from chores to comparison, screentime to hard friendships, honesty to heartache. First episode out TODAY!
