Today on the Podcast :
In today’s episode, Chad Hayenga, Connected Families Director of Education and Equipping, joins us to encourage parents to reframe their thinking about disrespectful kids. Instead of demanding compliance, he encourages parents to respond with curiosity, asking what's really happening in their child's heart. This grace-filled approach builds genuine respect while still maintaining clear boundaries.
Key Takeaways:
Misbehavior is communication
Respond with curiosity, not control
Address the heart, not just behavior
