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.

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 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!
