Thank you for this broadcast! I have three kids and I sometimes push away what they're going through and need to learn how to sit with them and understand their emotions. Meet them where they're at.

Thank you❤

First video I stumbled upon, subscribed!

This is so, so incredibly timely for me and my family (we have 3 little boys). I want nothing more than to protect them at all times, but I know it’s not always what’s best. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ll be re-watching this many times! ❤

We're so glad you found the broadcast helpful @canadiangirl8775! God bless you and your family!

Absolutely brilliant, thank you

❤ Yay Kathy's back!

Just saw a news piece from some parents who lost their daughter in a sand hole RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM and are trying to educate about the dangers of digging those. Traumatized a whole bunch of people who watched the frantic digging and removal of dead little girl. Apparently those cave in and should never be deeper than the knees of the shortest child playing in/around it! Who knew? Yes, kids die all the time, and we can’t bubble wrap them against all harm, but we can be wise and heed warnings of others who’ve faced the ultimate loss of their child in an easily preventable incident.

Great information! Thank you so much 🙏

Great broadcast! I think part of why parents minimize events is because we've heard experts say NOT to give energy/attention to those things, less they become enlarged and "true". Hard to know when to apply each tactic.

Cathy Koch is sooo wise ! Sounds corny but recalling the Waltons, they taught their kids process, consequences, responsibility. Allowed them to step out on a limb, under watchful parental eyes, then learn from their success or failure. Rewarded for evidence of learning, not just for breathing !

Thank you!

The link for the assessment will not work for me.

I went through the link, and didn't notice right away that it had an arrow down at the bottom of the assessment intro page. Scroll down and see if it's there for you. Clicking it should take you to the assessment questions.

We're so sorry that you're having trouble with the link @alishagarciax and @bjemaja. You may have better luck with this link- bit.ly/3Uea7Tb. Please let us know if you continue to have trouble!

But what do you do when your adult offspring doesn't want to hear your apologies. It's as if he doesn't want to accept that I wasn't perfect or is it that he doesn't want to admit his hurt bc I'm hurting bc of what I did or didn't do. I wish I could understand what he is thinking and how to grow a more open relationship. Thank you for this show. I listen frequently.

@@focusonthefamily Thank you. I have time on Friday and will give them call. Also I will take a look at the article. I appreciate the support. :-)

What do you do when your child doesn't care about the consequences? My kids are too young to see the ramifications of bad grades
