There are so many parenting debates happening right now in the culture at large. Screentime. Discipline. Anxiety.
But what if we’re focused on the wrong things?
Instead of trying to fix and manage the problems, what if we cultivated the solution?
What if the environment we cultivate is the very thing our children need?
In this episode, Josh talks about their current parenting journey, the two competing worldviews that influence how kids experience joy, and how we can give our kids joy permission.
Here are some highlights:
- How two competing worldviews influence the amount of joy in our home
- Why we need joy permission
- Why resourcefulness is a cheat code for helping kids live joyful lives
- The one way to step into joy this week as a family, no matter how difficult the season you find yourself in right now
