• 011 - No Room for Weeds: Nurturing a Healthy Lawn in Your Parenting

  As a parent do you ever feel like you are doing more and more correcting, but seeing fewer results? Are you at the point in your thinking that nothing seems to be working, so why try at all? If you’ve ever tried to nurture a healthy lawn then you realize that to cut down on weeds, you need to give your lawn the nutrients it needs to become healthy. Healthy lawns prevent weeds from growing. In a similar way, if you want to cut down on the amount of correction you are giving your children, then give them what they need in order for healthy behaviors to take control. Rich & Julie Young, hostsResources & topics mentioned in this episode:→ Parenting from the Tree of Life Book & Course // www.growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-lifeSpeaking Life episodes:→ Episode 2 // Apple // Spotify // YouTube→ Episode 3 // Apple // Spotify // YouTube→ Couch Time episode // Apple // Spotify // YouTube→ Blanket Time (What is it & how to apply it?)→ Life-Giving Home Environment episode // Apple // Spotify // YouTube→ Conversation Cards (for family meals together)→ The Moral Warehouse Explained // https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-lifeblog/2018/6/1/lsv8-02s-how-the-conscience-receives-stores-and-uses-moral-knowledge—--------------------------------------------------→ The Growing Families Website→ Register for a Class→ Our Courses→ The Bookstore→ Contact Mom Ministry→ Instagram→ Facebook→ YouTube Email questions or topic suggestions to [email protected]

• 010 - Parenting in the Digital Age: Responsibility & Boundaries with Technology

  The digital era we are living in has created all sorts of parenting challenges that previous generations could not have even imagined. But are they really new challenges? Or might they be something closer to home - the same basic parenting challenges but now with a digital “look”. If there is any character weakness flagged, it will not be because a digital device caused it; rather, the device revealed it. Regardless, parents need a plan. We’ll discuss time management, social media, phone rules, and practical ways to protect your children in the digital world.Rich & Julie Young, hosts*Episode Correction: At 11 min 22 sec, the Bible verse quoted is actually Ephesians 4:29.Resources & topics mentioned in this episode:→ Praying the Scriptures books→ Life in the Middle Years→ Parenting from the Tree of Life→ Speaking Life podcast episodes:Episode 2 // Spotify // Apple // YouTubeEpisode 3 // Spotify // Apple // Youtube→ Facebook live video on parenting in the digital age—--------------------------------------------------→ The Growing Families Website→ Register for a Class→ Our Courses→ The Bookstore→ Contact Mom Ministry→ Instagram→ Facebook→ YouTube Email questions or topic suggestions to [email protected]

• 008 - Parenting in God’s Kingdom: the Theology of the Family

  God is love – a foundational truth. But how does this impact our parenting? Christian theology, an understanding of God's nature and purpose, guides us. Past generations often relied on 'because I said so' parenting due to a lack of theological framework. With traditional values fading, understanding God's love and purpose for families is crucial. The Ezzos pioneered a theology of the family rooted in God's Word, leading to the Growing Families ministry. This ministry equips parents with an understanding of God's character and the life-giving principles that flow from Him. Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo join Rich and Julie Young to discuss how this theology shapes effective parenting.Rich & Julie Young, hostsGary & Anne Marie Ezzo, foundersResources & topics mentioned in this episode:→ Parenting from the Tree of Life book and video series // https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-life→ Find a ClassAdditional Resources:→ Assumptions that Affect Our Lives(This book explores how hidden beliefs ("worldviews") deeply influence our values and actions, revealing how understanding these assumptions can transform both personal, societal, & even parenting perspectives.)The Growing Families Website // https://growingfamilies.life/Register for a Class // https://growingfamilies.life/find-a-classOur Courses // https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-coursesThe Bookstore // https://growingfamilies.life/bookshopContact Mom Ministry // https://contactmom.life/Instagram // https://www.instagram.com/growingfamilieslifeFacebook // https://www.facebook.com/GrowingFamiliesLifeYouTube // https://www.youtube.com/@GrowingFamiliesLife Email questions or topic suggestions to [email protected]

• 007 - Wait for the second marshmallow. (Vision part 2)

  Continuing the discussion of the importance of having vision as we raise our children and shooting at the right targets, we discuss the importance of delayed gratification and how to instill that value into our children. As our children gain the skill of being able to look beyond the “here and now” to the future, they gain a greater understanding of the power of a vision based on God’s truth that is filled with hope and life.Rich & Julie Young, hostsCheck out part 1 of this topic in Episode 6 // Spotify // Apple // YouTubeResources & topics mentioned in this episode:→ Self-Control Training // https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-lifeblog/2018/6/1/lsv14-02s-the-importance-of-developing-self-control-the-marshmallow-test→ Moral Education // https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-lifeblog/2018/6/1/lsv7-06s-one-standard-fits-all-moral-education-precept-four→ Practically Teaching Self-Control // https://growingfamilies.life/parenting-from-the-tree-of-lifeblog/2018/6/1/lsv14-03s-how-to-practically-teach-a-child-self-control→ ⁠The Growing Families Website→ ⁠Register for a Class→ ⁠Our Courses→ ⁠The Bookstore→ ⁠Contact Mom Ministry→ ⁠Instagram→ ⁠Facebook→ ⁠YouTube Email questions or topic suggestions to [email protected]
