Rachel Macy Stafford on parenting with intention and helping kids manage stress

In stressful times- how can we help our kids manage worry, relationships and technology? What does it look like to be the role models they need- even when we are trying to hold it together ourselves?

 

Today, I'm joined by Rachel Macy Stafford of Hands Free Mama to talk about what stressors the younger generation is battling with most, what it looks like to lead the way in healthy technology use, and how to point your kids to a life of relationship and purpose. 

 

We also chat about:

-How our own coping mechanisms can help our children thrive

-How to respond to your kids in a way that builds trust

-And the questions to ask before we hurl accusations or give corrections

 

Favorite quote:

There’s no right or wrong way to love each other through the tricky turns of life. 

 

In this episode I answer these questions:

1. How do I know if I'm self-sabotaging myself? And if I am, how do I stop it? (36:07)

2. How do I learn to trust God? (41:15)
