Catholic Minute Protect Your Kids’ Souls – Every Catholic Parent Must Know This! (Ken & Janelle)
Raising children in today’s world is not easy, but as Catholic parents, we are called to raise holy, virtuous kids who are prepared to stand firm in their faith. In this episode, we share insights from Saint Theophan the Recluse and Dr. Leonard Sax on parenting with purpose, discipline, and faith.
As parents of eight children (including our newborn, Louis! 👶), we’ve seen firsthand the challenges of parenting while homeschooling and keeping our faith at the center of our family life. In this discussion, we cover:
✅ The #1 influence on your child’s faith and character
✅ Why self-control is crucial for your child’s future success
✅ How authoritative parenting (not too harsh, not too soft) forms strong, faith-filled kids
✅ The battle for virtue in a world that promotes comfort over discipline
✅ The importance of surrounding kids with faith-filled role models
This podcast is a must for every Catholic parent who wants to raise children that love God and live virtuously in today’s culture.
