Imagine, for a moment, someone whose presence makes you uneasy...NOT a fun thought! Now, imagine someone who makes you feel safe, secure, calm, and accepted...MUCH better! That's the presence our children desire and need to develop new skills and feel loved. On today's episode, we discuss how we can bring in the Calm Presence to our interactions with our children. Here are some questions to ask yourself:

1) What kind of presence would the people around me say I bring?
2) Do I bring a calming presence to my children?
3) How do I become someone whose presence is calming to the people around me?

Children desire structure, and as parents we can provide that for them through a plan, a schedule, and/ or a routine. HOWEVER, plans are hard to make, and life never seems to get less busy... On this episode, we discuss three helpful questions to ask when making a plan (below), how to communicate that plan effectively to your children, and how ultimately God's plan for our family, for us, and for the world is better than our plans.

Framework questions for developing a plan:
1) What am I trying to accomplish each day but am unable to?
2) What are some things that I must get done each day for my family?
3) What are some things that I must get done each day for me, so that I can be fully present with my family?

Why do certain behaviors from our kids trigger us? How do we identify them and heal from them so that we can be the parents we want to be but, more importantly, the parents we are called to be?

We had a listener reach out about navigating friendship dynamics between young girls as they get older and thought it would be a great intro into the Biblical idea of friendship and how to apply that principle in helping our children develop healthy friendships. Thank you to the listener who sent this in, this was so fun for us to reminisce on!
