Parenting as a Person of Understanding

Prov 20:5

Reflective vs. Non-Reflective Parenting

Reflective parenting simply means you reflect upon the people and experiences that shaped the way you parent.

Questions that help you become more reflective...

1. What are the questions I don't want to ask?
2. What are the conversations I don't want to have?
3. What memories, feelings or experiences have I been avoiding?

Surface vs. Next Level Parenting

Outside vs. Inside Parenting

Matt 23:25-28

Jesus is saying three really important things here...

1. What comes first in our parenting priorities?
2. There's only one way for the outside to be really clean.
3. To be an outwardly focused person ensures hypocrisy.

Content vs. Searching Parenting
