Summary
Here’s the thing about parenting—It’s really hard to evaluate how you are doing or identify areas of improvement when you’re in the thick of it every day. Because parenting comes with no performance evaluations or long-term guarantees of success, we often find ourselves simply trying to survive, not thrive (I speak from experience).
Danny Huerta from Focus on the Family joins us today with some valuable benchmarks to consider in our parenting journey. His new book, 7 Traits of Effective Parenting, very practically lists some of the most critical areas of our parenting and how to assess how we’re doing or where we need to make some tweaks.
Some of the traits of effective parenting we discuss include adaptability, respect, and intentionality—and believe you me, there’s some truth spoken today that I needed to hear and I bet you will feel the same way, too.
Danny also shares with us the areas of our culture he believes will most challenge our kids' faith and gives us his thoughts on how to prepare them to live biblically.
I hope you’re having a wonderful summer, and I’m so grateful you’re joining me on this parenting journey!

| 0:03.5 | This is Cynthia Yannoff, and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.1 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk |
| 0:26.1 | the parenting road alone. Hey guys, welcome to Pardon the Mess. Thank you for taking a few |
| 0:36.0 | minutes to chat with us today about parenting. I don't know about you, but I feel like Pardon the mess thank you for taking a few minutes to chat with us today about |
| 0:37.6 | parenting i don't know about you but i feel like part of the mess is perfect in explaining what my |
| 0:42.4 | life feels like right now midsummer we're in dallas it's july it's getting very very warm |
| 0:48.1 | and my first world problem of the week is that our swimming pool has been under construction |
| 0:52.8 | since the great Freeze of Dallas, |
| 0:55.5 | which was like February. And so when you are in Dallas in the summer and it's hot and your pool |
| 1:00.7 | is completely under construction still, it's a little frustrating. But aside from that first world |
| 1:05.5 | problem, also my people around here, there are lots of spirited debates going on. Are you seeing that in your house as well? |
| 1:11.8 | And by spirited debates, I just mean quite a bit of opinions. |
| 1:15.9 | One child in particular is really, really pushing for Instagram. |
| 1:19.7 | So we're working through that. |
| 1:21.2 | So anyway, I just wanted you to know that we're all in this together, walking this road together. |
| 1:24.6 | And that's why I'm glad we have Danny Huerta with us today. |
| 1:32.6 | He's at Focus on the Family. He's the vice president of parenting and youth, and he's chatting with us about seven traits of effective parenting. And I love that he's kind of giving us a |
| 1:37.3 | benchmark to look at for our parenting, not because we want to be discouraged or feel like we're |
| 1:41.4 | not doing it well, but in order just to have kind of goals and see where we're strong and maybe those places where we need some growth. |
| 1:48.2 | So those seven traits are adaptability, respect, intentionality, love, boundaries, grace and forgiveness, |
| 1:55.6 | and gratitude. |
