PART 2   3. Some important quotes stand out!  4.  His comments about the ROD are really good in chapter 11 Children are not born morally and ethically neutral If they are they don't need correction, just direction If they are not, then they need correction Our child's problem is that he or she is a sinner! p. 102. Folly is the problem we have to address according to proverbs Folly is not childishness Folly describes the person who does not fear God A fools life is run by his desires and fears The fool lives out of the immediacy of his lusts, cravings, expectations, hopes, and fears The issue is authority Will a child live under the authority of God and his parents? Will he/she live under their own authority? All children choose to live under their own authority: I don't want my diaper changed I don't want to sit quietly at the table during this meal You are going to make me and if you do I will scream and throw a huge fit Leave this to take root and grow, and it produces “a rebellious teenager who will not allow anyone to rule him.” “God has ordained the rod of discipline for this condition.” p. 103 “Confrontation, with the immediate and undeniably tactile sensation of a spanking, renders an implacable child sweet.” (p. 103) The quote on p 103 is massively important The function of the rod It imparts wisdom Pr 29:15, which is tied to the fear of god “It creates an atmosphere in which instruction can be given. The spanking renders the child compliant and ready to receive life-giving words.”  (p 104) Tripp deals with the question - don't all children eventually learn to obey? He say NO!! Proverbs 29:15, 17 The rod defined - p. 104 “The rod is a parent, in faith toward God and faithfullness toward his or her children, undertaking the responsibility of careful, timely, measured, and controlled use of physical punishment to underscore the importance of obeying God, thus rescuing the child from continuing in his foolishness unto death.”  It is a parental exercise It is an act of faith in God and His Word It is an act of faithfulness - an expression of love and comitment It is an act of responsibility - not a parent determining to punish, but a parent determining to obey It is an act of physical punishment Not venting or parental anger Not frustration Not based on a feeling of my child is bothering me It is always measured and controlled It is a rescue mission Rescues the child from continuing in foolishness To ignore your child's rebellion against God's authority is to ultimately brings God's greater chastisement into their lives. The Rod clarified Not unbridled temper Not the right to hit my child Not venting or frustration not retribution Not payment but restoration Not vindictive The Rod objected I love my child too much too spank You love yourself too much to spank them I am afraid I will hurt them “Biblically-balanced discipline never physically endangers a child” I am afraid it will make him rebellious and angry Proverbs 29:17 teaches the exact opposite I am afraid it will teach them to hit Only if you spank in anger It doesn't work It doesn't when you spank in anger or out-of-control It doesn't when you are inconsistent It doesn't when you fail to be persistent It doesn't when you aren't effective I could be arrested for child abuse Only spank in the privacy of your home and do it right

Are you clearing every obstacle out of your child's way? In this episode, Kyle and Sara Wester unpack snow plow parenting—why it happens, how it holds kids back, and what to do instead. Snow plow parenting is when parents try to remove every challenge or discomfort from their child's path. While it often comes from love and fear, this approach can unintentionally rob kids of the resilience, confidence, and problem-solving skills they need to thrive. Kyle and Sara share why parents fall into this trap, the long-term costs to children, and how to shift toward a healthier approach. You'll learn practical strategies for recognizing when you're “snow plowing,” scaffolding instead of rescuing, and coaching kids through life's challenges while still offering the support they need. Key Takeaways: Snow plow parenting means clearing obstacles to prevent failure or discomfort.While motivated by love, it can lead to anxiety and low confidence in kids.Children miss opportunities to build resilience and emotional intelligence when parents over-intervene.Recognizing when you're snow plowing is the first step to change.Coaching and scaffolding help children learn to solve problems at their own pace.Allowing small struggles is essential for long-term growth.Validating feelings—without rushing to fix—is a powerful parenting tool.Trusting children to handle challenges builds their confidence and independence. View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/stop-snow-plow-parenting-build-resilient-confident-kids. Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

You've heard the figure that most MDs get less than 10-20 hours of nutrition and food training in medical school, and Dr. Katja Rowell (MD!) thinks this is a tragedy.There are some tough moments to hear in this interview, but important ones as we work to raise healthy, independent kids into adulthood.We talked about:What "extreme" picky eating is How bad therapy can hurt a child's relationship with food and family to his/her great detriment, and how you can identify it.Why responsive feeding is different, respectful to the child, and ultimately worlds more effective.Some of the good doctor's regrets about her early years in practice The perils of diet culture for all ages and how we can begin to protect our youth through using the right language and expectationsHow we need to work with extreme and mild picky eaters differently (Spoiler: we don't!)The 5 foundations a good responsive feeding approach boils down to, and how so many families see success Dr. Rowell also said that sugar isn't addictive and doesn't need to be villainized as unhealthy...and with the knowledge and experience I have at this very moment in time, I disagree.But I think it's wonderful that we can learn so much from experts yet also learn to filter everything through our own intellect. I'm totally open to change on this issue, but I also believe it's ok to disagree.Resources We Mention for Extreme Picky EatingDr. Rowell's books: Helping Your Child With Extremely Picky Eating, Conquer Picky Eating for Teens and AdultsTake the free No More Picky Eating Challenge now!Ellyn Satter's Division of ResponsibilitiesMore on feeding a child with sensory processing difficulties, highly sensitive children, and autism from a functional medicine perspectiveYou can connect with Dr. Rowell online at The Feeding Doctor or Extreme Picky EatingFollow her on YouTubeMore resources Dr. Rowell sent me after our interview:Dieticians 4 TeachersThe Feeding Humans PodcastThe Comfort Food Podcast episode on sugarThank you to today's sponsor, Happsy!

Ever been halfway through a parenting reel thinking *“Oh wow, this is gold”… only to realise it’s actually terrible advice dressed up with pretty music and a pastel background? We’ve been there too. In today’s episode, Justin and Kylie unpack six pieces of popular parenting advice they’re choosing to ignore forever—and why you should too. From controlled crying to timeouts, “spoiling” kids with love, and the classic “just ignore the tantrum” strategy, we’re calling out the myths that sound helpful but harm connection. This episode is your permission slip to parent with heart, not hacks. KEY POINTS: Controlled crying is not independence training — It misunderstands attachment and ignores babies’ real needs. Timeouts don’t teach, they isolate — Punishment in disguise erodes trust and connection. Responsiveness isn’t spoiling — Kids thrive when we tune in, not tune out. Ignoring tantrums doesn’t make them go away — Empathy teaches emotional regulation. “Seen and not heard” is still hanging around (and still harmful) — Kids need space to be curious, push back respectfully, and develop their voice. Self-soothing is a myth for little ones — Kids learn to calm down with us, not alone. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: “Abandoning children in their most vulnerable moments teaches them nothing—except that our love is conditional.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Whole-Brain Child by Dr. Daniel Siegel Attachment research by Dr. Allan Schore ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Challenge bad advice — When you hear advice that feels off, trust your gut and check the research. Choose connection over correction — When your child is distressed, meet them with empathy instead of isolation. Be responsive, not reactive — Show up consistently so your child learns to regulate through co-regulation. Make space for their voice — Let your kids respectfully question, push back, and express themselves. Ditch the naughty chair — Find real discipline strategies that teach, not punish.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property, and currently, that's The Gilded Age. "What the Papers Say" is that Gladys is going to marry the duke, so her attempted elopement with Billy Carlton comes to a very abrupt end. No one is going to cross Bertha on this topic, not even railroad tycoon George. Thankfully, it seems that Peggy's illness and Oscar's poverty will also be coming to a quick end, although no one in their home will be able to celebrate with an adult beverage. Mentioned: Recaps at Drinks with Broads, the newsletter from the Fug Girls.Next Wednesday, we'll watch season 3, episode 3, "Love Is Never Easy." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.This episode was recorded before a live audience ... of dogs.

This episode is for every parent who's felt worn down by rude words, angry outbursts, or aggressive behavior from their child—and is craving a better way. A way that actually works and feels good in your heart.In this episode, we're digging into three common mistakes that loving parents often make (through no fault of their own) when trying to manage tough behavior in kids ages 5–12. We'll shift the lens from “my child is being mean” to “my child is missing a skill or struggling with a need”—and that shift changes everything.You'll hear how one simple principle—all feelings are allowed, but not all actions are—became a total game-changer for one mom I worked with. We'll explore what it looks like to hold firm boundaries without shame or yelling, and instead respond with tools that build your child's emotional regulation and confidence.You'll also learn about a favorite strategy called “Bugs and Wishes,” which helps kids say what's bothering them without name-calling, aggression, or defiance. And we'll talk about how to break free from the exhausting “cuckoo cycle” of commands and consequences, and step into something so much more sustainable.These are Positive Parenting Strategies that work—not just in the moment, but long-term. They help you raise respectful, emotionally healthy kids while also enjoying your role as a parent again.So if you're ready to bring more connection, cooperation, and calm into your home... press play.
