The Intentional Parents Podcast

Testing boundaries, catastrophic fear, and homeschooling

Episode Summary

The whole crew is here today to answer more of your thoughtful questions. We cover topics like what to do when your kids test the boundaries with grandparents or other caregivers. We tease out some tricky elements like the parent's role and the grandparent's role in these situations. We also answer the question, how do we deal with catastrophic fears in parenting? We dive into the root of fears and turn to the Bible for wisdom about what God says about anxiety and our troubles. We differentiate concerns from true evil and learn how to listen and support a friend when fears arise. The last topic we cover today is homeschooling. We talk about the good and the complex parts of homeschooling, practical ways to homeschool multiple kids at once, and how setting your expectations can make or break your school year. We hope this episode brings hope and practical help to you and your family. Enjoy!
