Description
This week’s podcast is “Part Two” of the interview with my in-real-life friend, Kris Habashy. (Apparently, we like to talk. And talk. And talk.) Although we cover a lot of topics today, I think they all boil down to one–a mom’s relationship with her kids. Having watched Kris with her own kiddos, I greatly value her thoughts and opinions. (You can listen to “Part One” of our chat, here). What we talked about: Handling boys who bicker or fight. Should you allow boys to pretend/play fight. Training self-control vs. natural angry outbursts. Not changing or lowering the standard because of behavior. Their family rules for Nerf gun use. Micro-management parenting and how it inhibits obedience. Playground play vs. playing in the backyard. Use as few words (and few “no’s”) as you can. Role playing scenarios before they happen (aka, leaving the park . . . ). Taking neutral moments to speak life over your kids . . .disconnected from behavior. Encouraging your kids even in the hard moments. . .acknowledging accomplishments. Advice for those times when you are out-of-sync with your kids. The role dads can play in helping moms relate with her kids. Rite of passage rituals to help boys move forward into manhood without guilt. Speaking and praying vision over our kids. . . even on a really awful day. Show Notes: Pool noodle light sabers & balloons Leslie Johnson–previous podcast episodes (Ep 1 & Ep 20) Amy McCready – Positive Parenting Solutions What areas do you struggle in your relationship with your child(ren)?
