322. Parenting Principles: Teaching Our Children to Be Problem Solvers
Manage episode 449561269 series 2838097
Welcome back to the kitchen table. It’s natural to want to jump in and fix our kids' problems. We worry about their decisions and try to steer them toward the best outcomes. But what if our instinct to solve everything is holding them back from learning a powerful skill—problem-solving?
Bethany used to want to solve every problem her kids faced. It felt natural to step in and guide their decisions, but over time, she realized this approach wasn’t helping them grow. Instead of fixing everything, she’s been learning to teach them how to be problem solvers themselves—a lesson God has been showing her.
Bethany is teaching them to turn to God with their struggles, reminding them He’s always with them. She leans on two scriptures for this Isaiah 41:10 and Philippians 4:6.
By stepping back, Bethany helps her kids trust in God’s guidance, knowing He’s the ultimate problem solver. It’s a powerful shift that equips them to handle challenges with faith and confidence.
