Question:
Grandma passed away, how do I address death with my two year old?
• It’s really just a question if care and an expression of love
• Answer them in a way that is useful and helpful at this time
• young children think concretely and we might not need to over explain
• heaven is hard to understand
• Grandma isn’t here now, maybe talk about how much we love her and talk about characteristics
• Share the gospel
• Never go wrong when you keep Jesus as the focus
• Unwanted parenting advice
• parents have to be on the same page
• Address it with the parent directly
• Don’t not deal with it and harbor bitterness
• Make sure the parenting advice is biblical
• Living Grounded
• Parenting is not one size fits all
• Evaluate the advice one child at a time
Correct your spouse
• If safety is at stake
• Refrain from doing this and handle it in private
Discipline
• 10:13, not really about parents and children
• 13:24 is a figure of speech regarding discipline
• Corporal punishment should always be meaningful, encompassed in love, never done to inflict harm, rare
• Appropriate age range, 2-6 according to studies
• Never the first response; Last resort
