ABC's of Parenting - Part 5

About this episode

The discussion focuses on K, L, and M of the parenting alphabet. K is Kindness, an essential skill that parents must teach, starting by being kind to themselves (a concept rooted in biblical self-love). L is Listening, which requires active application in all areas of life. M is Meaning and Purpose, stressing that children need to understand they possess both. Four core qualities necessary for a meaningful life are identified: the opportunity to be loved and to love, and the need to feel secure and significant. The hosts reference Dr. James Dobson's book Parenting Isn't for Cowards, acknowledging that parenting is hard and often frustrating work.
