Parenting and Homeschool advice - Equipped To Be with... ·

2022/12/14

A friend recently suggested to me that I should talk to you about how God answers our prayers and specifically prayers of protection for our kids. Praying for your children is an important part of the spiritual development of your kids and for you as a parent. In this episode, I share some recent experiences with prayer and the importance of praying for your children - not just praying for those risk-takers who naturally drive you to your knees but for all for your children. Prayer is action! Read

2022/11/30

We've experienced a lot of change in the last few years. Everywhere I turn, I'm reading or hearing about someone else in crisis. I've had seasons of crisis in my own life recently. Today, I thought it would be helpful to talk about how to help others in a crisis.

2022/11/16

In the episode last week, I talked about resting vs quitting. So many of you contacted me asking about kids who have a tendency to give up on something too soon. How do you go about teaching kids not to quit? It's really important to know each of your children as individuals. There tend to be a few basic reasons that kids want to quit and the way you go about helping and encouraging these kids is very different. In this episode, I talk about three different types of kids, why they want to quit,

How to Keep Kids Safe Online - 137

Parenting and Homeschool advice - Equipped To Be with... ·

2022/11/02

I speak frequently about how to keep kids safe online. I've found two camps of parenting styles when it comes to technology and internet usage. On one side, some parents decide to give no access at all to technology. On the other side, they allow their kids near unrestricted access. If you've been around the Equipped To Be Podcast for very long, you know that I'm not a proponent of restricting all access to technology and the internet. At the same time, I've found that giving too much access

In episode #134, I told you that teaching kids to serve is a great way to help manage the impacts of stress.

This week, Shannon Dailley from Samaritan's Purse joins me to talk about the work that ministry is doing in Florida and around the world. Shannon and I discuss the kinds of work that

I'm excited to welcome Dr. Kathy Koch back to the podcast! Dr. Kathy has a new book about kids and resiliency. She's back to talk with me today about this book titled Resilient Kids and to define and expand upon resiliency. This is about so much more than the trauma of living through a pandemic!

How to Implement Parenting Advice - 132

2022/09/28

Parenting is hard. Deciding how to implement parenting advice can be even more difficult. There are a lot of parenting books out there. I even wrote one myself! Sadly, many parenting books can come across as being the only right way to parent your child. You might start to think, "What is wrong with my child?" when doing what the author says on page 76 isn't working. In this episode, I want to encourage you to be careful of who you choose to listen to when it comes to parenting advice and show you

Don't Let Your Kids Be Quiet Quitters - 131

Parenting and Homeschool advice - Equipped To Be with... ·

2022/09/21

There's a new term in HR departments around the country: quiet quitters. It refers to people who don't want to overexert themselves. They do just enough to get their paycheck and not get fired. Your children have the opportunity to take the marketplace by storm in this quiet quitter culture! In this episode, I talk about how to raise kids who pursue excellence and know how to put in a good day of work instead of doing just enough. Read the full show notes with links here:

2022/09/07

I've recently come through a very difficult season in my life. Trial after trial kept coming. I couldn't get through most days without at least a few tears or without feeling exhausted. For me, this season carried a lot of death and painful losses. For you, maybe it's saying goodbye to someone you love, a financial situation, or a wayward child. How do you get through trials? In my 20s, I was full of hope and expectations. My 30s were much of the same, running towards my goals for my life. But

As a parent, it can be a tricky balance to decide how much to share or not to share with your parents about your homeschooling journey. You may have parents who are supportive or you may have parents who are not supportive of your schooling choice. I've had both experiences. Grandparents can be a great support for their homeschool grandkids if they make intentional choices. I give a little advice for parents in this episode, but I really focus the conversation on grandparents. I have a list of

How does your child think? How do they process the world around them? If you have multiple children as I do, you have probably seen that one child can be extremely different from another child in your family. This is because each of your children is uniquely created by God! This is episode eleven of a series I've been doing on my book, Parenting Beyond the Rules. From the beginning of parenting, I wanted to know how my kids tick and what ticks them off. We have already talked about how the goal is
