AuthentiKated Christian Parenting

So Here’s the Thing...

What do we do in real time when our kids are having meltdowns, being disrespectful, having an attitude, taking a tone with us or being outright defiant?
Well, that's exactly the question I'm going to answer today, because as we all know, THESE are NOT the fun parts of parenting, but they are a necessary part that we must go through (and probably put our parents through) in order to teach our kids better ways of processing, behaving and communicating and to grow ourselves, as parents.
In today's episode, I'm sharing two real-life situations that happened to me with my girls and how I handled them in the hopes that it will be helpful for you and maybe give you some new skills you can implement with your own children.
Let's do this.

The Choices We Make In Parenting

Choices. There are always so many to make about anything and everything, however the choices we make as parents are some of the most important choices we'll ever make.
In today's episode, not only do I cover how we can make good choices as parents, but how we can avoid (most of) the overwhelm and frustration that comes with even some of the hardest choices.
I provide you with questions to ask yourself as you make choices that benefit your children and the relationship you have with them, as well as how you can role-model good decision-making to your children so they can learn how to make healthy, wise choices for themselves now and in their futures.
Feel free to reach out if making choices is something you struggle with or if there are any other parenting concerns you may have and would like some input on. I'm always here to help!

Intentional Parenting: How We Can Show Up Better For Ourselves and Our Kids

What does it mean to be intentional in our parenting and how do we go about it? How can we be successful not only in becoming better parents, but also in teaching and guiding our children as they learn and grow?
This is exactly the question that I'm going to answer in today's episode.
Being intentional is HARD and it takes focus, commitment and work, even on the days and in the moments when we just want to quit.
In this episode, I'm going to break down how exactly all of us can be successful not only in improving who we are as parents, but also how we can be successful in HOW we parent so we can do our best by our kids.
I'd love if you would share with me what you plan to do to improve yourself or your parenting so I can cheer you on!

What Our Kids Don’t Know WILL Hurt Them

Happy November! This week I am discussing that what our kids don't know actually WILL hurt them.
It's important that we, as parents, not only use wisdom and discernment in educating our children, but also that we don't live in a state of fear and hide things from them because we don't think they can handle it or we, ourselves, are uncomfortable talking about it.
Cause let me tell ya, if YOU don't want to tell your kids about things, someone else WILL, and you don't know who that "someone else" might be and exactly what they will be informing your children of.
So, listen in as I reassure you that we CAN actually talk to our kids about the hard and uncomfortable things and that they CAN actually hear and handle more than you think.
