Parenting Podcast - Parenting - You are Not Who you Raise

What is “authoritative” parenting? How does it differ from other styles of parenting such as authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful parenting? Join Pastor Amy and Healing Place Counselor Cari Rothenhoefer (LCSW) for a discussion about how to create a climate of responsiveness to our children while maintaining clear expectations.

Are you parenting on purpose? Or are you leaving your family's goals, development, and experiences to chance? Life is busy, and it can be tough to know how to slow down, evaluate, and make the changes we need to make in order to create the family experience we desire. Dr. Christina Hibbert and author of "Parent On Purpose," Amy Carney (http://www.AmyCarney.com), share how to bring more purpose to parenting. Including how to write your "parent purpose statement," incorporate play, and get "out of the box" in order to do parenting YOUR way.

There’s more to creating a parenting schedule than just allocating equal time between parents. In fact, good parenting schedules are often difficult to create. Today’s podcast covers particular difficulties that you might encounter when drafting a comprehensive plan, like parenting history, the child’s developmental maturity, and the court’s expectations. Join Dave Johnson and Heather Coleman as they discuss what goes into creating a well formed parenting schedule and what you can expect for your own personal schedule. To contact Dave or Heather with parenting schedule questions or other family law issues, please call (303) 394-3030.
