The one parenting skill I’m working on [Episode 351]

Do you ever find yourself responding to your children in ways that don’t align with the parent you want to be? As I navigate through pregnancy with our fifth child while homeschooling through Georgia’s cold winter days, I’ve found myself struggling with patience and tone – especially when cabin fever sets in.

In this weeks episode, I open up about:

One parenting skill I’m trying to master right now.

How a moment of frustration with one of my kids led to an unexpected heart-to-heart.

The simple, yet profound principles of maintaining respect even when kids make bad choices.

Why this approach encapsulates so much of what I’ve learned from countless parenting books.

I’m not sharing this as someone who’s mastered respectful parenting – far from it! This is my real-time journey of growth alongside my children, inspired by divine guidance when I needed it most.

For those feeling stuck in reactive patterns or discouraged by family tensions, this episode offers a gentle reminder that parenting provides endless opportunities to grow beyond our automatic responses.
