Summary

Heidi is visiting with Wendy Brunner today about Parenting Scripts, a helpful book that will help you plan ahead and learn to react with more self-control when you’re tempted to blow up.
Wendy Speake and Amber Lia co-authored the popular parenting book Triggers: Exchanging Parents’ Angry Reactions for Gentle Biblical Responses in 2016, followed by the Triggers Study Guide later that year. Most recently the two released their follow-up book, Parenting Scripts. Join their private Facebook group for more encouragement. Or find Wendy at WendySpeake.com, where you can sign up to receive free seasonal GENTLE PARENTING PRINTS. Each winter, spring, summer and fall, you’ll receive a scripture, a lyric to a hymn, and a quote. This fall they’re featuring a quote from Parenting Scripts, Isaiah 40:11, and a line from the hymn, What a Friend We Have in Jesus. You can also follow along on Facebook or Instagram. Join them in their private Facebook group for moms as well.
Wendy has been a favorite podcast guest before. Last time we talked about mom anger, because some of our friends had a problem. Ha! Just kidding… because we both know WE are guilty! But Wendy has a great resource for anyone who admits it’s an issue. Part 1 & Part 2
