Summary

This week we take on the tough issue of spotting our own weaknesses as parents. How you were raised clearly effects how you parent your kids... and that's not always good! What are the most common ways a parent's upbringing impacts their own parenting? When do parents need to consider therapy for themselves and when do they NOT need therapy? What do parents who experienced abuse need to be aware of in their own parenting? How can a parent's Christian faith impact these weaknesses? Got questions or feedback? We want to hear from you!

0:55.4	And she'll ask me, oh, my gosh, how do you do it?
0:59.2	How do you do it all?
1:00.6	Which is a really loaded question, of course.
1:04.1	And so I never know like what direction they're really going with that question.
1:09.9	So if I could, if I had the time with them, I would,
