The EXTRAORDINARY Family Life Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
Before we had kids, we all had idealized visions of what we *thought* it would be like.
For me, it included images of perfectly dressed and pressed children with clean faces sitting on a picnic blanket in the sunshine, enjoying a perfectly mannered meal together.
But once we become a parent, we soon realize that those ideals are a far cry from reality.
Instead, there are tears, tantrums, and sleepless nights. There are snotty noses and strong opinions. It's no wonder we're not enjoying being a parent as much as we thought we would.
If you've ever felt like this -- and especially if you currently feel like this -- then make sure to listen to this episode.
We'll share some pragmatic principles and practices -- from our experience raising seven children and working with thousands of parents and youth -- that can help you make your parenting journey so much more enjoyable.
