It's time we dispel a myth...there are NO perfect parents.

Geri and I have been parenting for 39 years, and we are still learning as we go. Every age and stage of life presents opportunities and challenges. The key is to continue in the direction of good parenting, even if you make mistakes along the way.

Today, Geri joins me for part two of a podcast where we explore one of the most challenging leadership tasks on earth – emotionally healthy parenting.

Together, we cover 4 critical parenting issues:

Why YOU are your child's biggest problem (and what to do about that)
How to create a SAFE environment in your home
Why CONNECTION is more important than rules
The importance of knowing your POWER with your children

0:00.0	Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Emotionally Healthy Leader podcast. I'm here with my mate, Jerry.
0:10.1	Hello, everyone. And she's here for part two of emotionally healthy parenting, a radical approach to a difficult task. So welcome, honey. So nice to have you here.
0:22.7	Thank you. So we're not parenting experts, as I said in part one, but we have raised four daughters into adulthood. Their ages
0:29.3	now are from 29 to 39. And so we've gone through the infant and toddler and child teen, college, post-college, young adults, two are married
0:40.1	with their own families right now.
0:41.5	So every season has its challenges, as we have found.
0:45.1	And there are some common themes that we've learned over the years that apply actually
0:49.1	to all the developmental stages for you.
0:51.6	So we want to offer you what we believe is a gift that emotionally
0:56.6	healthy discipleship brings to the whole parenting task. Now, this is not all of parenting,
1:01.1	but it gives some good insights, I think, as we approach it. And so again, there are no perfect
1:07.1	parents. The key is to be moving in the right direction and to be honest about where
1:11.7	you are in your own growth process. So again, our goal is again raising children to launch them
1:17.7	into adulthood so they stand on our own two feet and become the unique young men and women
1:23.0	that God's called them to be, which is no small task. So as I mentioned last week, there's four
1:27.6	critical issues or contributions to make to parenting here that we want to ask, invite you to
1:33.8	really engage in and take as part of your parenting. The first is that you are your child's
1:39.5	biggest challenge or biggest problem. In other words, you've got to do your inner work first.
1:44.5	Absolutely. And that's so big that I spent the whole podcast on it in part one.
1:49.5	Not only first, but and always. It's just an ongoing work.
1:55.1	And so you'll see, even as we get into two, three, and four critical issues, it keeps coming back over and over again. So again,
2:04.4	you're your child's biggest challenge or problem. You've got to do your own inner work first.
