| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast, a place for honest conversations and practical advice on how to build an awesome marriage. |
| 0:09.9 | I am your podcast producer and co-host, Lindsay Few. |
| 0:13.4 | On the show will be our host, Dr. Kim Kimberly. |
| 0:17.0 | Dr. Kim is a marriage counselor and has been married for over 50 years. His passion is to help you |
| 0:23.4 | strengthen your most intimate relationship. So today on the awesome marriage podcast, we're |
| 0:30.4 | talking about tips for healthy parenting perspective. So I have gained some experience |
| 0:36.2 | through 17 years of parenting, but I'm definitely still learning. |
| 0:39.6 | And when I was a young and pretty clueless mom, I was desperate for wisdom about how to parent well. |
| 0:45.2 | How can we develop a healthy perspective that helps us love our kids well in each season? |
| 0:50.3 | Well, this is something I really want to hear Dr. Kim's take on because he has not only got a great relationship with his adult kids, he and Nancy also have great relationships with their grandkids. |
| 1:01.0 | So Dr. Kim, what would be your first tip for how to develop healthy parenting perspective? |
| 1:06.9 | Yeah, and I think it's so. For us, it was to be adult friends with our kids. And it really came out of a young man I was counseling years and years ago when our kids were little. He was graduated from high school and we're talking about where he was going to college. And it didn't really matter as long as it could be the far away that he could get from where his family lived. And I said, you really want to live that far away. You might not get to come home for holidays. And he said, I don't think I'm coming home for holidays. And I said, you really want to live that far away? You might not get to come home for |
| 1:28.1 | holidays. And he said, I don't think I'm coming home for holidays. And I thought, okay, obviously, |
| 1:32.5 | there were a lot of issues that we had to work through. But it helped me see that I don't want that. |
| 1:36.7 | I don't want that to even be something that my kids think about. I want to be, we want to be friends. And so I think Nancy and I together, we would treat them as they were, I think, |
| 1:47.5 | growing up, giving them responsibility, letting them fulfill that responsibility, being able to give |
| 1:53.1 | them more responsibility, all those kind of things, the way we respected them and treated them, |
| 1:58.0 | and as they gained privileges. You know, our goal was the time they got to be |
| 2:01.0 | 18, that they were pretty autonomous. You know, they didn't, the last half of their senior year, |
| 2:05.4 | they didn't have curfews. They, you know, we really wanted them to experience while they were |
| 2:10.0 | in the safety net of homes and things they would experience outside of the home. And so I think all |
