Breaking Family Patterns

Hope Filled Parenting Styles

Warmth & Boundaries by Age

Handling Backtalk & Repair

This is a longer episode, but it's WORTH IT! Danny and Rebecca welcome Melissa Krueger, author of “Parenting with Hope” about four parenting styles—authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and negligent. Is your parenting full of warmth, boundaries, curiosity, and validating teens’ experiences? We're challenging you to take a look at you family habits that may have shaped your parenting. We also have a listener Q&A that addresses disciplining a disrespectful 7-year-old by teaching better language, requiring repair and apology, and probing underlying needs and insecurities. This is a great show!
