The Best Parenting Advice I've Ever Received.

This is a different kind of video than I normally do. I never knew what a sinner I was until I became a parent. I want to share some information that helped my parenting journey. Did it make our kids suddenly outstanding and perfect? No. Does our teenager act like a tall toddler sometimes? Yes. Does our 9 year old act like I've asked her to climb Mt. Everest when I ask her to do the dishes? Daily. But here are some ways to make your head implode less.

Giving parenting advice on the internet can be scary. The 'Net is just a giant glove looking for a face. People might really make a mountain out of a molehill with this advice. But I think it's worth risking the keyboard warrior wrath because this advice really helped me, and I think it can help you too.

I also did not realize what a sinner I was until I had kids. šŸ˜¢ I often say in my head, "O wretched mom that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?"

YES you are preparing them to LEAVE YOUR home! As a teacher I wish more parents realized this.

the hardest thing about being consistent is that sometimes we are just plan tired and being consistent takes too much will-power.

I was so sad when I realized that much of the way I parented my children when they were younger was purely sinfulā€”anger, fear, irritability, selfishness. I wish someone would have (gently) told me that. It would have been so good for me, my kids, and our entire home.

I feel so called out, and i needed this today. After 20 years of infertility my husband and i conceived. I have a 4 year old rainbow baby, and i feel so guilty for not being consistent. My husband wants to be the authoritarian and I'm the over protective Mom. I know I'm this way because I had a funeral for my first baby. Much prayer is helping me open my eyes. Thank you so much for this! ā¤

Iā€™m listening to this with a screaming toddler in the background and a baby in my arms, and I feel I am currently turning into a total bully towards the older one. More content like this please!šŸ˜…

Excellent advice Melissa! As the mother of 4 adult children, I can say that I was one who parented from an abused background, and it made me more permissive and to child centered, rather than training them to become adults. Iā€™m sharing this for those still raising their young ones. God bless.

I have 4 between 19 and 42. I agree with all you said. But would add that parents are imperfect, so if your child (no matter their age) makes a poor choice it is tempting to blame yourself. Own up to your own mistakes, confess sins to the Lord and receive His wonderful mercy, and then accept that your children are not a summation of your best and worst qualities. Once older, they are responsible to God. And you may raise each in all the best ways, and they may still walk away. Pray, pray, pray more for your children!

Parenting is so challenging! I have been shifting my perspective to ā€œcontrolling my own emotions and not controlling my children.ā€

I will start by saying I am an overachiever. I stayed home with my kids and they are now 15 & 18 yrs. I have read parenting books and I have taken parenting classes all 18 yrs. I am extremely consistent (embarassingly to the T). I am not very emotional so I rarely raised my voice with them. We are intentional with our kids everyday. My kids have picked up after themselves and have had chores since they started walking. They both have been paying for themselves since they started working 2 yrs ago. My son paid for his own computer, they both paid for their phones and pay for service by doing additional chores. And yet my son (now 18 yrs) is still very entitled and takes little responsibility for himself. This is to say, you can do everything right and still have a kid who just doesnā€™t get it. And also, you can have a great kid who came from a terrible upbringing. In conclusion, it really comes down to the child, their personality, and their choices. They are complete whole human beings with their own will. This isnā€™t to say that we as parents donā€™t do our very best to set them up for independence and maturity. The parent is a piece of the puzzle. The child is the other piece. It is good to include them as well. They should also take responsibility for the person they become.

you are terrific. My sister (20 yrs older than me) basically raised me and she came pretty close to every piece of your advice (I'm 79 yrs old) I thank God for her and my elderly parents who backed her up.

I agree with everything you said. Parenting is always evolving for me. I will say that once I started homeschooling in 2020 my relationship with my now 15 year old daughter is so much better than when she was in public school.

Amen. This is desperately needed in The Church. SO many "gentle parenting" trends in my area have filled churches and house groups with undisciplined, egocentric, overly-medicated children out of touch with a Biblical worldview. Having these talks and interactions show the most respect and genuine love for our kids to help equip them for life and eternity.

One thing that is important is to remember that they have free will....they get to choose Christ for themselves...we raise them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord...but they get to choose.
