Alive and Wells with Lorna and Tauren Wells

Ep 10: Tuning In To Your Children's Needs, Strengths & Weaknesses


Listen Later

As a parent, how can you be intentional about recognizing the needs, strengths, and weaknesses of your children? 

In this week’s episode Lorna and Tauren talk about the importance of tuning in to your child's needs at each stage of their life. They share their thoughts on blanket parenting, balancing time with your kids (even when you're tired), and the importance of recognizing your child's strengths and weaknesses. They remind us that parents get to call their children higher and teach them that the Lord has good plans for them.
