Shorts | How do I manage emotions as a parent? with Jennie Allen
Channel: Christian Parenting
Date: 16/02/2024

This segment is from my interview this week with Jennie Allen about emotions. I ask her how we avoid getting too tangled up with our kids’ emotions. How can we avoid the co-dependent nature of parenting? The feeler in me wants to jump right over into the mess and take away any hurt or discomfort. She reminds us that the more helpful approach is to stay in our lane. Anyone else struggle with this? I am a huge feeler - so this area is a struggle for me. I absolutely love her encouragement on this question.
