Summary
These two episodes with Dr. David and Amanda Erickson are packed with practical ideas for the little years. Truthfully, it can be overwhelming to determine how to discipline, redirect, manage chaos while not breaking the spirit of your child. I see a cultural shift from one extreme (punishing behavior out of kids and using fear) to another extreme - letting the kids run the house with no rules.Â
This couple has an approach that I really believe in - they combine child development with scriptural truth. I wish I had had them when my kids were younger. They focus on “what to do” vs “what not to do” which puts an upfront emphasis on your family’s values and expectations.Â
My favorite part is when they talk about how to take a biblical value like “trustworthiness” and live it out in the home. As you listen to this episode, I am praying you feel equipped and not discouraged. Their way isn’t a prescribed formula - it’s a parenting philosophy that has many benefits and ideas attached to it.
When my kids were little, it was so chaotic at times and I would get so overwhelmed at my lack of parenting principles and felt like I kept messing it up. You are not alone. Don’t give up! This work and effort will pay off.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Cultural shifts in parenting styles
- How to build trust and honesty in parentingÂ
- How to redirect behavior and manage chaos
- Ideas for discipline and consequences
Enjoy!

| 0:08.0 | Welcome to Pardon the Miss. |
| 0:09.4 | I'm your host, Courtney DeFaio, and on this podcast, we talk about raising kids as Christian parents. |
| 0:14.2 | It's so very important for me to honor God with my family and the two kids that he's given me. |
| 0:18.6 | But honestly, it's not always neat or easy or tidy, |
| 0:22.0 | but it's always worth it. So join us every week to laugh and learn together on this beautiful and |
| 0:26.5 | messy journey of parenting. |
| 0:43.8 | Do you guys ever have one of those days where literally nothing works? |
| 0:48.5 | Like, this is the day. If you see a fire in Collieville, it's because I'm blown up my computer. |
| 0:56.2 | Oh, sweet Lord, help me just get through this. It's just, it's really annoying. But now I'm going to redirect us to a great parenting conversation. We did this in two parts today because it was really |
| 1:01.5 | long and I didn't want to cut it. I loved the entire chat with Dr. David and Amanda Erickson. So part |
| 1:07.6 | one, if you haven't listened to that, go back. And then part two is just the |
| 1:11.0 | continuation of our chat. And so if you've got littles in the house up until elementary, |
| 1:15.3 | this is for you. I've been wanting to have someone on for quite some time to talk about, |
| 1:19.6 | how do you do this? How do you like keep scripture in mind and honor God with your kids? |
| 1:24.4 | Also, not just yell at them all day or punish all the bad behavior out of them |
| 1:28.7 | or have an environment of fear. It's really hard. And it's really hard if you've got many kids and |
| 1:34.0 | if you've got all kinds of personalities, it can be really tricky. And so what I love about them is |
| 1:38.9 | they're both parts, their child development and they're realistic, their parents so they know |
| 1:43.4 | what it's like to have personalities and wild kids in your home. But they're realistic, their parents, so they know what it's like to have |
| 1:44.2 | personalities and wild kids in your home, but they're also based in scriptural truth. And they're |
| 1:49.0 | encouraging. They don't want their home to be one of just, here's all the things you can't do, |
