There have been so many times when as a dad I have thought I can't do this. I can't figure

out what the problem is let alone solve it and I just kind of cry out to God.

Occasionally I do that even verbally.

I just literally say God I need your help here.

You might have hit a wall like that in your parenting journey

and if so stay tuned we have

some encouragement for you I'm John Fuller along with Dr Danny Werta who heads up our

parenting department I think it's pretty common especially for dads but also for moms Danny to feel like this is it

I'm now maxed out I can't do anymore one next step might be impossible or or even knowing how to respond to certain things, right?

There are behaviors that come out that you didn't expect or weren't ready for, didn't

have the energy to respond to.

And I would say many many many of us parents have at one point or another just been

absolutely spent and on on some days we may be really on top of our game and being able to respond to certain behaviors in another day is like,

are you serious? We're gonna do this today. I know I've wrestled in throughout my parenting journey here and there with guilt

I'm feeling have have I spent enough time

Was I present enough in that moment because there's so many things in my mind that I'm not

I miss something because my child was sharing a lot

and I felt that my attention was divided.

I've had those types of moments

and I have to remind myself that I'm not always going to be this perfect parent.

I just I'm going to be a relational one and I'll do my best in those moments and just

being aware of that creates good parenting along the way.
