We're so excited about this episode, because we want every kid who may be extroverted or introverted to know that their gifts are amazing and that their limitations are amazing too! We're going to talk about 3 things parents of extroverted and introverted girls need to know and 3 things parents of extroverted and introverted boys need to know. There's a great book that we both love, The Hidden Gifts of the Introverted Child, by Marti Olsen Laney. Listen to this description of the differences, introverts generally prefer stimulation in small manageable doses whereas extroverts seek lots of action and excitement. An introvert may pursue topics in depth, while an extrovert may be more oriented toward breadth. An introvert may need time to process his/her emotions before responding. An extrovert is more likely to react in the moment. We've seen a lot of evidence of this being true. Another book we love, called Quiet, which also revolutionized my perspective on it, and I recommend it to parents of introverts all the time. . . . . . .

We are so excited about this new series! It is something we wanted to talk about for a really long time. It's something we talk about in our offices with kids and families all the time in our parent consultations. One of the single biggest obstacles when growing up can be not knowing or understanding our personality. Understanding your personality can change the game in parenting and in early development. Parenting Personalities is a series for understanding more of yourself, understanding your kids personalities. We will do a deep dive into Enneagram numbers, Birth order, Extroverts/ Introverts and Attachment styles in this series and a host of other surprises. Experience Growth and Grace individually and growth and grace for the entire family. . . . . . .

In this episode, I get to sit down with two of my favorite voices in the parenting space, Sissy Goff and David Thomas. Sissy wrote The Worry-Free Parent and Raising Worry-Free Girls, and David wrote Raising Emotionally Strong Boys. Their books have been such a gift to me in my own friend circle / mom book club, and this conversation felt like talking to two friends. Instead of piling on more “fix your kid” advice, it reminds us that the best gift we can give our kids is our own emotional health. We talk about how our regulation becomes their regulation, how to stop worry loops before they spill over, and how to resist that urge to swoop in and rescue (so hard, right?). They share so many practical tools for caring for our own minds and hearts so we can model resilience for our kids. We also get into what it looks like to notice our child's unique temperament without projecting our fears, and simple ways to coach kids through big feelings - naming emotions, breathing, coping strategies, and even letting them do the “scary thing” without overstepping. Faith threads through the conversation too, reminding us that God equips us for the hard things He's writing into our family's story. Plus, I brought in your questions - everything from bedtime battles and grandparent POV to school drop off resiliency. And at the very end, I asked them something I think every overwhelmed parent needs to hear: if you're maxed out and running on empty, what's one small, doable thing you can try today to move toward being a little more worry-free?

Ya'll it was the first time in history that we have had a contestant from the Bachelor, and let me tell you in my counseling office how many years I've been talking about the Bachelor. So one of my questions was at what age and should moms and girls watch it together. And she had some great thoughts along the line. We are super excited for you to hear this conversation with Madi Prewett Troutt. I want you to stick around to the end. Because there was this incredible moment, where she was talking about if you are parenting a baby you love who is just sitting in a poopy diaper right now covered in food. What that moment could teach you about the heart of God. Madison “Madi” Prewett Troutt, is a speaker, TV personality, host of the Stay True podcast, and bestselling author of Made for This Moment, The Love Everybody Wants, and Dare to Be True.

In the summer months, not only am I the director of our little summer camp program called Hopetown. I'm also the worship leader and worship music chooser for kids in 2nd - 12th grades. And let me tell you, as a therapist for kids for over 30 years, I am very choosy when it comes to the lyrics that these kids sing. They are kids who have known heartache, who have experienced loss of all shapes and sizes, trauma, anxiety, depression, and more. They are kids who have questioned whether God loves them in the midst of their pain. Whether he cares and is still for them and for their families. And so I desperately want the words we sing each night to be truth. And not just truth that glosses over their heart, but truth that seeps into it and points them toward the one who is in the midst of the heart with them and longs for their healing. There's truly no one I trust more to speak words of life and healing through worship, than the three women who are on our podcast today, and the bands they represent. I am delighted for you to listen to the wisdom of our friends, Sandra McCracken, Leslie Jordan, and Taylor Leonhardt. Download their music individually and together, as Paper Horses and Mission House music along with Jess Rey. We promise you will be so very glad you did and glad you listened to this episode with these wise amazing dear friends of ours.

If we’re not regulating our own bodies, if we are not able to respond rather than react, then everybody’s going to be operating out of the amygdala of their brain, which is the fight or flight region of our brain.” - Sissy Goff “Helping [children] learn that they can lean into how loved they are and to where God has uniquely gifted them, and step out in that to experience things that might sound a little scary, ends up being a whole lot of fun, and really rewarding, too.” - Sissy Goff “We were gracious that God helped bond us through a crisis that we weren’t expecting. That’s given us a bond and a trust and a lesson to keep going back to His faithfulness, as well as what it means to turn towards one another.” - Gabe Lyons “Every season of life is an invitation for conflict and stress because it’s new. We’re all rookies throughout the entirety of our marriage.” - Rebekah Lyons “Sometimes in a marriage relationship you dream early on, but man, as life piles up, we’ve had to really implement a structure of our rhythms that allow us to keep having conversations about the future.” - Gabe Lyons “[In marriage] we’ve realized that God’s given us each other as part of our healing, to help us experience the fullness of feeling alive and being connected.” - Gabe Lyons “We’re so grateful for the example of Jesus who modeled humility, who humbled Himself, that He took death on a cross so we could be free, we could have life. We believe that’s a picture of what our marriage should look like—humbling ourselves, walking in the freedom that Jesus paid for so that we could have that.” - Rebekah Lyons _______________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Today our favorite counselors, David Thomas and Sissy Goff, are back to talk about their new project- children's books! So much has happened over the last few years and they are beginning to see the onset of anxiety drop to age 6 from 8 years old previously. They created these books to give kids the words and emotional tools to do hard things and decrease anxiety, including a golden retriever feelings chart. As usual, they pack so much advice into every moment, here are some things we cover: Escape and Avoidance vs. Support and Challenge in parenting Connect over correction- we lose connections when we try to control the environment Kids are becoming less resilient- they learn they are capable by experience How to help an introverted child with friendships How to be a good loser- turn it into something constructive How to understand your strong-willed child Why teen boys are not taking risks Connect with David Thomas and Sissy Goff: Website: Raising Boys and Girls Facebook: Raising Boys and Girls Instagram: Raising Boys and Girls (@raisingboysandgirls) Links Mentioned: Owen Learns He Has What It Takes: By David Thomas Lucy Learns to Be Brave: By Sissy Goff Braver, Stronger, Smarter: By Sissy Goff Strong and Smart: By David Thomas Quiet Power: By Susan Cain Related Episodes: Helping Our Kids Foster Friendships :: David Thomas and Sissy Goff [Ep 338] Getting Brave About Anxiety :: Sissy Goff [Ep 311] The Worry-Free Parent :: Sissy Goff [Ep 421] Raising Worry-Free Girls :: Sissy Goff [Bonus] Helping Socially Anxious Boys :: David Thomas [Ep 451] Raising Emotionally Strong Boys :: David Thomas [Ep 368] A Lil Help with Boys and Screens :: David Thomas [Bonus] Understanding Boys Better :: David Thomas [Ep 315] Featured Sponsors: Thrive Market: Skip the junk without overspending.
