About this episode
You can now text the show! How cool is that. Do it now!Your relationship with your kids might be the most important thing you build in your life. Grades? Good. Achievements? Great. but there's one thing that trumps it all. The relationship.This week we're diving deep into parenting and the importance of your relationship with your kids. Why it matters, how to do it well, and what Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté's book "Hold On to Your Kids" teaches us about being our children's compass.Sadly, kids today are increasingly attaching to their peers instead of their parents. They look to other teenagers for direction on values, identity, and how to behave. The problem is that peers are not equipped to serve as a compass. At all. In any way! It's the blind leading the blind.Your job is to be the compass point. The one they turn to for meaning, purpose, and security. Not their mates.My two daughters are poles apart (one just like me, one a complete mystery), they've both taught me about me in differenbt ways. parenting has forced me to grow in emotional capacity, and why we're really just fletchers sending arrows into the world.Plus: why your relationship with your spouse must come first, the concept of "good enough" parenting from Donald Winnicott, biblical wisdom on not exasperating your children, and practical ways to invest in your kids from Joshua Sheats.Whether you have biological children or are investing in the next generation as a spiritual parent, this episode is for you.👋 I'm collecting emails so I can share stuff that doesn't fit in podcast episodes - things I'm reading, learning, testing out.
