Crystal Paine on The Transforming Power of Love-Centered Parenting
As a mom, it is natural to want to measure how we are doing by the results we get from our kids. It’s easy to get caught up in whether or not they get good grades, make the right choices, or act appropriately in public. Sure, we want to raise good kids and be good moms, but it will lead to spending too much time correcting and not enough time connecting if we are not careful.
In this episode you’ll hear:
What it’s like to lean in and love, listen well, lead with humility, let go.
The process of shifting from parent-centered to relationship-centered parenting
Important choices we make as parents
Practical tools to use when we feel like giving up
Key Points:
Identifying where your anger and frustration are really coming from will help you stop yelling less and loving more.
The four choices we can make as a parent are: lean in and love, listen well, lead with humility, let go.
Kids will be open to communication and be more willing to share more if we come alongside them than if we are always trying to micromanage or fix them.
It’s okay to let our children see us fail. It’s a great opportunity to lead with humility and look to Jesus to be our strength.
