30. Instead of Disappointment or Disapproval, Try These Tips to Finally Motivate Your Older Struggling Child


Listen Later

Even the best Christian parents can slip into parenting from disappointment or disapproval—and it weighs heavier on kids than we realize.

At the root of every struggle is the fear of “I’m not enough,” and when our children feel our disappointment, it reinforces that fear in their core.

In this episode, we’ll uncover why disappointment isn’t a healthy motivator, how it sneaks in as “tough love,” and why it creates disconnection instead of growth.

Through stories, scripture, and real examples, you’ll see how shifting from disappointment to love helps your child feel safe, valued, and motivated from a place of possibility—not fear.
