One of the biggest roles we can have is being a parent. What does it look like to cast ripples of light in our families? How do we love our families and children well while pointing them to Jesus?

As a parent, have you ever felt ill-equipped and wish you had tools to help you parent the best way you can? Do you wish you could parent differently than your parents did and not just yell at your kids?

In this episode, Jessica interviews Angie who talks about her journey to learning to provide a more peaceful home for herself and her children. Through this process, God led her to start the parent toolbox as well as a podcast called Mom Essentials. 

One of the tips Angie talks about is being aware of how you respond to your kids and being aware of what you’re feeling as you’re interacting with your children. If you can be intentional about keeping your body and voice calm you can keep the entire situation calmer. Angie talks about the window of tolerance, high activation (fight or flight), and low activation (freeze mode). Another tip Angie gives is have family meetings so our kids are aware of what the week and each day looks like. That way you and the kids have clear expectations of what the day looks like and when they will get play time with mom. 

Angie provides a free 30 minute discovery call to see if her tools would be helpful for you which can be found under resources on her website.
