Are you constantly repeating yourself, reminding your children of the same things, or wondering why they don't take responsibility? It may not be rebellion. It may be that the expectations have never been clearly established.

In this episode of the Pursue HER Podcast, we're talking about why setting healthy expectations is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children. You'll learn why expectations create security, what a lack of expectations looks like at every stage of childhood, and practical ways to establish age-appropriate expectations for toddlers, school-aged children, teenagers, and even adult children living at home.

We'll also discuss how to get on the same page with your spouse, encourage single moms navigating parenting with a support system, and share biblical wisdom for raising responsible, respectful children with grace and consistency.
