“Your kids will make a liar out of you.” -said by a mother after a childless friend said what she would/would not let her future children do.
If you’re a mom – you feel that deeply, right? We’re all *excellent* parents…before we become parents.
Parenting is an interesting combination of winging decisions + wielding authority. You’re not prepared for half of the decisions that you make on behalf of your children. There are moments you find yourself making a decision that you’re confident is best for your child, but is maybe not the “norm” or what other parents are doing.
As believers, we have the safety net of the Holy Spirit guiding our decisions and filling in the big ol gaps when we’re just not sure what to do or how to do it.
And, sometimes, that makes you not your child’s favorite person. We’ve all been there.
In this week’s episode, Somer welcomes SWHW’s good friend, Lauren Diggs, to discuss what it’s like and what it takes to be confident when your parenting style and boundaries look different than the rest of the worlds.
Lauren is a mother of five, ranging in ages 9 to 32, and even a new grandma! She’s speaking from a place of both experience and being in the trenches with you.
They cover:
- Adapting Your Parenting Approach for Different Children
- Navigating The Hard Parts
- The Role of Confidence in Parenting
- Maintaining Open Conversations with Children
- Teaching Kids to Make Beneficial Choices
- Trusting God with Your Child’s Journey
This is a special one – push play and share with your mom-friends who find themselves struggling with the same things!
