Today on the Podcast:
Today, we’re talking about the top of the Connected Families Framework, Correct. This level communicates the message: “You are responsible for your actions.” As our kids get older, their choices can sometimes scare us because they could cause long-term damage. Host, Stacy Bellward, tells her story of how wrestling with that fear led her to discover truths about God’s character that freed her from parenting out of anxiety and control. That belief changed her parenting, and you’ll hear that in today’s story.
Key Takeaways:
- “My kids are responsible for their own actions, and by His grace, He’s at work in ways I can’t see.”
- “I was asking the wrong question: The answer fed fear and harsh reactions. God corrected me.”
