How to Momma Without Drama

Faith vs Fear Based Parenting

How can we be faith-based parents, trusting God with the details of our parenting? We need to start by learning the character of God we can only trust him when we know him. we need to hold fast to the directions God gives us about parenting. We need to recognize when there are irrational fears present and nip it in the bud rather than feed it. next step is to build trust through relationships, repetition, and rebuking fears when they rise up.W e ultimately have to choose faith and trust God's sovereignty in the lives of our children.

Inconsistent Parenting

In this episode, we talk about inconsistent discipline leading to the most resistant behaviors. Consistent parenting helps children know what their caregivers want them to do. It helps them see how a parent will react when they misbehave inconsistent parenting is extremely difficult for children. Parents who change their minds frequently or fail to provide effective leadership or more likely to raise emotionally volatile kids. We need to remain consistent so we help them develop socially and emotionally in an appropriate fashion so we don’t have these challenges later on down the road.

Is Your Past Keeping Your From Your Best Parenting?

Is your past holding you from what God is calling you to do in parenting? I met with parents recently who were beaten with belts as children who chose not to discipline at all. Their children were acting out terribly and being dishonest. I had shared with them they  needed to get healing from their experiences in order to raise the children according to how god expects them to. At what age do children understand actions and consequences? Three years and up is the answer but there are some exceptions to that rule. As your child grows matures, and begins to understand the connection between actions and consequences, you must start communicating the rules of your family home. You must explain to your children what you expect from them before you punish them for behavior. A few basic tips for discipline are always make eye contact -never ask something more than twice- Pick your battles- be consistent. Don’t let your past stop you from walking in God's freedom and calling! More mom podcasts.

Who Are Your Root People?

There are three types of people, leaf people branch people, and root people. We need to desire to have root people in our lives. Leaf people come into your life just for a season. You can’t depend on them as they are weak and only come to take what they want but then when the wind comes, they leave. Branch people are the people who break away when life is tough and can’t hold too much weight. They are stronger than the leaves, but you still have to test the branches out to see if they can sustain pressure or if they will snap. Root people are important as they do things not to be seen. They are supportive, even if you go through difficult times. They stay to water you and nourish you at the root and will be not moved by the storms of life or your position. We need to be rooted in God and desire to be surrounded by people with roots that can always nourish us and support us in our lives.

Pulling the Root of Anxiety

There are a multitude of sources that could be triggering anxiety in our children, as well as in us as adults. A few of these are personal relationships, medical conditions, traumatic experiences, a job, even genetics play a role. Anxiety is a manifestation of something much deeper. It indicates that your life is out of alignment and something is wrong. In this episode, I share a story of a child who is diagnosed with severe anxiety, and once we got to the root of her cause, she has been free of it.
