About this listen

Parenting has a way of humbling us—especially when we’re trying our absolute best and it still feels like nothing is working. As young parents, we may expect clarity to come with experience, but the reality is that parenting often becomes more complex as our children grow.

In this episode, Quinn shares honestly from her own life as a mom of four boys and the very real pressure that creeps in as kids grow older and decisions feel heavier. If you are second-guessing yourself or wondering why parenting suddenly feels harder than it used to, this episode if for you!

In the episode, Quinn discusses:

  1. How to identify recurring trip-up moments including what causes your own emotional triggers.
  2. The power of simplifying your parenting goals and practicing responses ahead of time instead of reacting in the heat of the moment.
  3. The importance of pre-emptive conversations with your kids so that important teaching tools can be taught ahead of time.

Mind Renewal Tip

When you feel like you’re failing as a parent, pause and pray this prayer: “God, help me see my child the way You see them.”

Scripture Renewal Tip

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”James 1:5
