The Power of Parenting with (the right!) Yeses and Nos

Highlights from Chapter 8 of Raising Amazing

I am so happy to be back with another monthly podcast covering highlights from my book, Raising Amazing: Bringing up Kids Who Love God, Like Their Family, and Do the Dishes Without Being Asked! Today we get to cover Chapter Eight:  All about the importance of saying YES…and NO…to our kids.

This is one of my personal favorite chapters/topics and I think it holds the key to some of the game-changing parts of parenting. Join me as I acknowledge that most of us tend to be more “yes-loving” parents than others, WHY “no” is so important, (and why it is so difficult!) and then I get practical sharing the “Art and Heart of Saying No”!  We cover the yes side of things too, and as always, I point to a free printable download offering “100 Screen-free things kids can do indoors!”
