Empowering Healthy Independence in Your Children

Join Melanie and Heidi as they discuss the delicate balance of parenting without over-helping, based on Stanford's research and their own experiences. They emphasize the importance of letting children face challenges to build independence, a strong work ethic, and a sense of purpose. By stepping back, parents can help their kids develop self-regulation, emotional understanding, and responsibility.

In this episode, you'll learn a practical four-step process inspired by how Jesus taught his disciples, applicable for all ages—from helping a toddler clean up to teaching a teen to drive. With personal stories and insights into how parental control affects children's future, they encourage a supportive rather than controlling approach.

Have you heard of speaking a blessing over your children or speaking truth over your children? This is something that, Melanie, I think you and I talked about a few years ago, and I was not familiar with it. So today we're going to dive into this subject and see what it means to speak truth over your children. How do you do it? Why do you do it? When do you do it? I'm excited to dig into this topic, and
