Episode Strengths and Weaknesses: What a Child's Misbehavior Tells Us
When faced with your child's misbehavior, it's tempting to focus on their weaknesses: poor emotional regulation, lack of self-control, or dishonesty. But what if you could see beneath these struggles to recognize the God-given strengths hidden within? At Connected Families, we affectionately refer to these strengths as "gifts-gone-awry." Listen in as Connected Families Co-Founder Lynne Jackson sits down with 22-year-old Lucy Browning and her parents, Ted and Jill. Together, they share how identifying and nurturing Lucy's "gifts gone awry" transformed her challenging behaviors into shining strengths that now bless others. Their story will encourage and inspire you.
