The Longest Relationship - Siblings with Catherine Garza

05/30/23 • 30 min

There’s nothing more that every parent wants than for their kids to be friends with one another - but how does sibling rivalry turn into friendship? Today Jamie and Lisa discuss the intentionality it takes to help cultivate a culture of friendship amongst your kids. From sharing rooms, to having their own text chats, and having different friend groups, Jamie and LIsa share with us the language they use and their expectations for the way their kids treat each other.

Today’s expert is Jamie’s dear friend Catherine Garza. She is a wife and mom of 4 children, and 2 daughter in laws and she's the perfect friend to text when you have those hard questions. Catherine discusses how she taught her children how to become friends through teaching empathy, teaching how to sincerely apologize, and how to forgive one another.

At the end of the day we surrender our kids to God and trust Him with the process. Our kids may not be best friends, but it is possible for them to have a close relationship that outlasts the parent relationship!
