Parenting is a role in life that many of us don’t get any formal training in. We often end up parenting the way we were parented and for most of you listening the model that was shown you was a fear based parenting style. Coach Crystal Haitsma is a coach that focuses on a different approach to parenting that she likes to call connection based parenting. She has come to believe that this is truly how God parents each of us and if we want to be able to parent like He does we need to heal our relationship with Him. She is talking on the podcast today about how being a good parent is an inside healing process for the parent and when a parent does this, the children will follow and change as well. This is a great episode and one filled with hope because research shows that no matter what age your children are, even if they are adults, you can change your relationship with them and truly gain greater connection.
