Are you making parenting mistakes you don't even recognize? In this convicting yet hopeful episode, we turn to the wisdom of King Solomon—a man who learned parenting lessons the hard way—to expose seven of the most common and damaging traps well-meaning parents fall into.

From the subtle error of "babying" your child to the spiritual neglect that undermines everything, these patterns can derail your family's health and your child's future. But there is a better way. Grounded in the timeless book of Proverbs, we examine each pitfall not to condemn, but to correct and redirect you toward biblical wisdom.

We’ll unpack the seven worst things parents do, including:

1. Babying Your Child: How over-pampering undermines confidence and creates rebellion.
2. Putting Your Marriage Last: Why a child-centered home creates insecurity and endangers your future.
3. Pushing Your Child Into Too Many Activities: The importance of balance and the lost art of the family meal.
4. Trying to Be Your Child’s Best Friend: Why your children need a parent, not a peer, and the safety of healthy boundaries.
5. Failing to Give Structure: How a lack of correction leads to chaos and prevents self-discipline.
6. Expecting Your Child to Fulfill Your Dreams: The danger of living vicariously and how to steward your child’s God-given path.
7. Ignoring Your Own Spiritual Life: Why your personal walk with God is the most critical factor in your parenting success.

This episode is a loving intervention and a practical guide. If you’ve ever felt unsure or wish you had a clearer blueprint, Solomon’s divinely-inspired wisdom offers the course correction you need.

Tune in to identify the traps, embrace the wisdom, and transform your parenting from guesswork into godly purpose.
