Episode 3: Shepherding Your Child’s Heart Through Behavior Challenges
12/22/23 • 24 min
When our children resist us, it provides an opportunity for us to draw close to them and walk hand-in-hand with them toward God, His Word, and His grace. Join me as I talk with Amanda Schenkenberger about some positive ways to shape your child's heart and help them move from rebellion to repentance.
Amanda Schenkenberger helps homeschool moms create a schedule, calm the chaos, and build strong bonds with their children so that everyone can experience joyful connection and rigorous academics at the same time. She leverages her own experience as a homeschooled individual and homeschooling mother of four inside the Homeschool Family Academy where she coaches other moms to educate curious minds and cultivate courageous spirits.
