In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on raising children.

Don’t just raise great kids. Raise kids who become great adults.

• You can force your child to be a great kid, but only while they’re in front of you.
• Teach them how to think, not what to think.
• Teaching a child how to think requires long conversations about what you believe and how you came to believe that.
• Spend time with your children one-on-one.

Discipline your children while they are young.

• Most parents excuse bad behavior while their kids are young and grow more strict as they age, causing them to push back.
• If you focus on disciplining your children while they’re two and three, you can loosen the rules when they’re teenagers.
• Teach them self-discipline.

Tune in to hear a Bible verse on parenting that is commonly misinterpreted.
