Summary
Guess who’s back? My dear friend Dana Sheheane. I wanted to get super practical as we end this school year with “best of parenting one-liners.” What one-liners do you remember from your childhood? What works in your house?
We go rapid fire today and cover many topics - but you will get a taste of how we tried to keep respect a priority in our homes. We also talk about the new wave of “gentle parenting” and get honest about our concerns for this approach. As a children’s pastor, Dana sees many kids that have not learned about authority and some simple obedience. Let us know what you think!
I hope this episode is practically helpful for you - and you get some ideas on how to incorporate some helpful little phrases.
We compiled the list HERE (insert link) for you to print - and be sure to add your own. On social media this week, we will give you space to do that and we want to hear what’s working in your home.
Of course, the most effective and most lasting one liners you can ever use can be found in God’s word. Don’t forget to have scripture in your home and try to memorize as you go. You can find ABC Scripture Cards at Cleerely Stated - these are the updated versions of the cards I created for my kids when they were young. Looking back, I’m so glad these truths were hidden in their hearts from an early age.
Congratulations on the end of the school year mommas - you did it!
Love,
Courtney

| 0:00.0 | Christian Parenting. Marriage is the foundation of our families. When our marriage is strong, |
| 0:13.0 | our families are strong. When our marriage is struggling, our families struggle to. We all know we |
| 0:18.3 | should prioritize our marriages. However, in the busyness of life, |

| 1:41.0 | Y'all, my sister lives in Georgia. |
| 1:43.8 | It's not like she lives in the woods. She |
| 1:45.5 | lives in a neighborhood. And she has not one snake, but a family of snakes. I shared it the other |
