Episode Details

How do you parent an anxious child when their anxiety shows up as anger, stubbornness, or rebellion? In this honest conversation, we share real stories from the parenting trenches including a powerful moment when one of us realized we had been misreading our child’s anxiety for years.

We also tackle:
• What to do when parenting exposes your own sin and immaturity
• How much screen time is actually too much (and why rules should be different for each child)
• How to stop projecting your own fears onto your kids
• Why some children behave at church or school but completely melt down at home
• Quick wisdom on apologizing to your kids and how parenting reveals our idols

This is a raw, grace-filled back-and-forth between a Christian counselor mom and her husband as they answer real parenting questions from a biblical perspective.
