Scriptural Wild Fatherhood

In this episode, we discuss the importance of the foundational years for a child's development and how fathers play a crucial role in this early phase. We will cover the significance of being present and engaged, prioritizing physical health and well-being, nurturing social-emotional development, passing on faith and shaping worldviews, balancing roles and seeking support, as well as the power of redemption in rebuilding relationships.

“Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment.” Mahatma Gandhi

This quote beautifully encapsulates the idea I am going to talk about in this episode. Arguably, the most important component in parenting

Have you ever asked yourself 'how can my kids follow my instructions without any resistance?' Well I think as parents, this crosses our minds quite often. I hope to share some insights I have gathered about this. 

There is a parenting concept that I learnt from the book Hold on to Your Kids written by Dr Gabor Mate and Dr. Gordon Neufeld. This is the concept of parenting power. In a nutshell this is the power that enables a parent to connect with their child, nature them, direct them and raise them up in the right way, without coercion or force.
