How Faith Forms in Unexpected Ways 30:20

Send us a text Faith formation follows a unique path for each person, moving from a "God-haunted feeling" through imagination and believability to deep conviction, with questions playing a crucial role in authentic spiritual growth. • Faith development often begins with an innate sense that there's "something more" beyond what we can physically experience • Parents can help children move through stages of faith by offering a safe environment for questions rather than quick answers • The teen years are critical for faith development as adolescents need space to question and personalize their beliefs • How we view God often parallels how we relate to others in our human relationships • Authentically saying "I don't know" to difficult spiritual questions builds trust and models real faith • The most powerful witness isn't perfect explanation but embodying unconditional love, especially during difficult times • Parents should resist panic when teens question faith, as this questioning is often a necessary part of developing authentic belief Got questions?

Respect: The Foundation of Parent-Child Relationships 20:24

20:24

Send us a text Developing respectful relationships with our children requires understanding different perspectives on respect and modeling the behavior we want to see. We explore how parents can navigate the challenges of teaching and demonstrating respect without being overly permissive or authoritarian. • Many teens define respect conditionally—"I'll give it when I get it"—while adults value others' feelings regardless of differences • Social media influences how kids define respect, often tying it to status, followers, and influence rather than character • Modeling respect is more effective than demanding it—children learn by watching how we treat others in everyday situations • When emotions run high, remember: "Your mood doesn't get to dictate your manners" • Give children appropriate power and choices to prevent disrespectful exchanges • Sometimes calling a timeout is the best approach, allowing everyone to cool down • Be curious about the intention behind disrespectful behavior before addressing it • Role-play respectful conversations to help children prepare for making amends • Avoid counter-aggressive responses which create fear, distrust, or power struggles • Balance boundaries with respect for feelings to help children internalize respect Give us a five-star review and tell all your friends about how much you love Brain-Based Parenting.
