Mentor Moments give you a chance to join the conversation as we answer a listener question. These episodes guarantee we're providing the most helpful tools and resources for exactly where you are.

This week's question is:

How do you balance the needs of different children in your home? They are old enough to notice that they have different rules, choices, and expectations than the other kids. I need to make sure my foster children have the structure they need to thrive and to make sure my bio children have the opportunity to grow in their independence.

Are you curious about how personality impacts the dynamic between you and your kids? Do they seem to see the world differently than you do? How about your spouse?

In this episode, we're talking with Jeff and Beth McCord about using the enneagram to understand that we all look at life through a particular lens. Once we understand our lens and the lens of our family members, we can build even healthier relationships.

We love this interview with Jeff and Beth McCord and know you will too.
