On today’s Musings with Marnie, Marnie Wells from Gilead’s Balm joined Lori to discuss finding relief from parenting problems and pressures. They started off talking about parenting being God’s plan. Marnie then shared a blog. “Parenting From beginning to End”, that talked about remaining calm as parents. They also touched on dealing with our own selfishness, looking for teaching moments, communication with spouses and caregivers, nap schedules, getting your child to listen the first time, routines, and the trouble with technology.
The conversation continued about being creative as parents to get kids away from too much technology. Then Marnie told us about a situation she witnessed that opened up the conversation about how a lot of parents don’t know how to read their kids or prepare them for various situations. The key was to look for repeated pattern that need to be addressed.
Next the discussion turned to societal pressures of parenting, and the missing link of wisdom the previous generation has to offer. Finally, the importance of husbands and wives working together and supporting each other. Listen in and hear more about it.
