In today’s episode, I’m continuing our Season Five series, How We Talk With Our Kids About Real Life Stuff, with a conversation that every parent can relate to — how we talk with our kids about homework and grades.

For more than 15 years, Jason and I have helped our five kids navigate the daily realities of schoolwork, homework, and grades. In this episode, I’m sharing five truths that we come back to again and again in conversations with our kids — reminders that they are made in the image of God, that grades don’t define their worth, and that as parents, our identity has to stay anchored in Christ, not in our children’s performance.

You’ll hear some of our own stories from college, lessons we’ve learned about discipline, and how kids make terrible idols! 

🎧 Whether your child is in Kindergarten or college, bringing home straight A’s or struggling to stay motivated, this episode will encourage you, equip you, and give you words for guiding your kids through their school years and into adulthood as God’s children made to create and glorify Him in all things!
