"Follow your heart." It sounds inspiring, but is it actually wise?

In Episode 291 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra tackle a popular cultural message and ask a deeper question: Should we really teach our kids to follow their heart?

While feelings are real, they aren't always reliable. When children are taught to let emotions lead, they can struggle with decision-making, discipline, and long-term wisdom.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why "follow your heart" can be misleading for kids.
• The difference between feelings and truth.
• How to teach your children to think, not just feel.
• Biblical guidance on the heart, wisdom, and decision-making.
• Practical ways to help kids process emotions without being controlled by them.
• How to raise children who are grounded, wise, and emotionally healthy.

Parenting isn't about ignoring emotions. It's about teaching your kids how to lead their emotions, not be led by them.

If you want to raise children who make wise decisions in a feelings-driven world, this episode will help you parent with clarity, confidence, and biblical truth.
