In this episode, Jeff, Bonnie and Rajeev take on the topic of parenting. They begin with their definitions of parenting before moving into the struggles of parenting. Co-hosts notice how parenting children often triggers a return to the parent’s own process of growing up. They reflect on the grief involved in the transitions from one stage of the child’s development to another. Co-hosts consider the influence their parents’ parenting-style has had on their own, for better or for worse. They discuss the need to shed expectations of their kids as well as themselves as parents. Because... mistake-making is classic parenting, and yet because we love our truly amazing kids, we trust they will be okay.
The episode includes a deeper dive into the stage of parenting through adolescence. Of course adolescence cannot be discussed without talking about youth group and all the axillary parents -- pastors, teachers, coaches, aunties, uncles and others -- that primary parents rely upon as collaborative parenting partners. As with adolescence, co-hosts observe parenting as a time for significant theological/spiritual growth and discovery.
In keeping with the times, co-hosts share their thoughts about schooling during a time of pandemic. The pandemic lens seems to shine brightly on the many ways the American education system could use reform.
On the other side of the music, Jeff, Bonnie and Rajeev share their all-time favorite family TV shows. Gather up the kiddos. Pop the popcorn. We got your next family show viewing experience covered.
