Are we treating our 12 year olds like 2 year olds? The way we approach discipline has to grow as our kids grow. If we want them to hear us, we have to speak in the language that they need most for their stage. In this episode, we’re looking to some experts who have gone ahead of us and offer wisdom for the 4 stages of parenting.

Truth:

The 4 Stages of Parenting

• The Discipline Years (0-5) COMMANDER

• The Training Years (5-12) COACH

• The Coaching Years (12-18) COUNSELOR

• The Friendship Years (18+) CONSULTANT

Follow Jesus’ example as we parent: John 13:14-16.
