  • The Why and How of Disciplining Our Kids, with Dr. Dave
    Nov 6 2024

    As we near the end of this fall series on the most frequently-asked-parenting questions, today we come to the topic that I have probably been asked the very most about: DISCIPLINE! I am grateful to have my husband with me to cover this challenging and potentially divisive, but incredibly important topic!

    Dave and I begin this episode with the WHY of discipline. We share Scripture and common sense reasons for disciplining our kids, ideally starting at a very young age. We spend the second part of the episode sharing some of the “how” of discipline…from our experience as well as the research we have done. We cover the biblical concept of “the rod”, as well as using our kids’ “currency” to offer natural and logical consequences. Be sure to visit my website show-notes for a free printable with helpful guidelines for discipline!

  • Sibling Squabling, competition, and other FAQs, with Jessica Smartt
    Oct 30 2024

    I am so excited to get to share this honest Mom-chat with my friend Jessica Smartt. I have loved Jessica’s books (links to them over in my show notes) and getting to know her in real life a couple years ago, and I appreciate her wisdom, conviction, and humor. I think you'll enjoy getting to know her too!

    In today’s episode Jessica shares three helpful parenting “goals” for sibling relationships, and then we go on to cover questions I have received from Instagram messages and emails. We cover a lot! -- From what to do about a mean sibling, to how to handle competition…When parents should get involved vs. when to let kids sort things out on their own, and more! I think you’ll find this practical and helpful. (And I think we’re going to need a part 2! -- Let us know if you agree over in show notes!)

  • Parenting Gold Nuggets from 7 Experts!
    Oct 23 2024

    I’m so excited to get to share a sneak peek, — some special clips from 7 of the interviews which are a part of the Character Training Course. 

    And the fun news is: The Character Training Course is finally open (only until next Monday!) I hope you can go over to the COURSE PAGE to see what’s in there and join over a thousand families who are saying YES to raising kids of character!

    Whether or not you are a part of the course, today’s guests will inspire you in the areas of:

    • Raising kids with a strong work ethic
    • Helping kids learn to COPE with difficult seasons and developing a vocab for big emotions.
    • Managing our own emotions in parenting and avoiding angry responses.
    • Encouragement for Father and daughter relationships.
    • Nurturing gratitude and fighting entitlement in our kids.
    • Helping girls navigate friendships.
    • Words from my son (the original Character Training Student!) reflecting on his experience going through character training at home!
