Today on the Podcast :
In today’s episode, Chad Hayenga, Connected Families Director of Education and Equipping, joins us to encourage parents to reframe their thinking about disrespectful kids. Instead of demanding compliance, he encourages parents to respond with curiosity, asking what’s really happening in their child’s heart. This grace-filled approach builds genuine respect while still maintaining clear boundaries.
Key Takeaways:
- Misbehavior is communication
- Respond with curiosity, not control
- Address the heart, not just behavior
