We can’t shield our kids from everything—but we can prepare them. In today’s episode, Karen answers your questions about navigating tricky situations that stem from outside influences. From toddlers to teens, the answer isn’t control—it’s conversation. Listen and learn why awkward talks now might be the most powerful gift you can give your kids!
Episode Recap:
3:39 - My preschooler is coming home using potty words, how do I address it?
5:41 - My neighbors’ kids are obnoxious and I don’t want my kids around them…
9:46 - My teenager’s friend (the son of a friend of mine) uses foul language in his texting, should I address it with her?
13:34 - How do I balance our family values and God’s command to think about praiseworthy things with my daughter’s taste in popular music that isn’t God-honoring?
20:05 - These conversations are awkward and hard but if we don’t teach our children, who will?
Scripture for Reflection: Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NIV)
“These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
