Episode 42: Helping Middle Schoolers Find a Faith of Their Own

You want to raise great kids. We want to help. (Parenting advice for every stage: birth—high school) This podcast was designed to be a resource for all things parenting. We plan to bring you great content and the advice of leading experts on topics like technology, faith, sexuality, pandemic parenting and toddler temper tantrums as we work toward helping our kids grow in their faith.

I would like to hear the guests on this show and learn from them, but it’s quite distracting to hear the host constantly make noises in the background like “mmm hmmm” and “yeah”. A podcast is not a conversation, it’s an audio production, so the focus at any given time is on the speaker’s voice. The host clearly does not understand this. I’m now going to unsubscribe since it has been months and months of the same distracting background noise.

Can’t listen any longer

Such great, practical wisdom in this podcast!

Love!

Episode 14: Discovering Your Child's Temperament

Establishing traditions and creating memorable moments for your family are great things to start in the preschool years. But as parents of preschoolers, we know that your time is limited and creating over-the-top, Pinterest-worthy moments is almost impossible! So instead of trying to attain the unattainable, we want to encourage you to think about the everyday, in-between moments where you can celebrate little things in a big way.  In Episode 3, Kendra Fleming and Mandee Young talk about why this matters and give you ideas for opportunities to create special moments with your family. Mandee has beenon our North Point Ministries staff for 17 years. She is currently the Creative Content Director for UpStreet, our elementary environment and has two boys (ages 10 and 12). Mandee is one of the greatest memory makers we know and we are confident that even just implementing a few small ideas will help your kids feel special and forever connected to your family.

Episode 7: Raising Grateful Kids

One of the most amazing things about the world is that every person is created differently with unique strengths, weaknesses, and personalities. So why, when our kids are young, do we tend to have the expectation that there’s only one right way to behave (follow the rules, sit still, etc.)? As parents, we often expect children to all be motivated by the same things rather than leaning into their individual wirings. In Episode 8, Kendra Fleming talks to Jennifer Walker about how to parent your child according to their unique design, providing a special emphasis on Toddlerhood. Jennifer provides great insight and tools to help you be a more effective and less stressed parent by unraveling what motivates your child and encouraging you to parent them through that lens. She talks about five different motivators:    Social Movement Engineer Rule follower Touch  Jennifer has over 20 years of experience as a pediatric nurse and has partnered with thousands of families to foster happy and healthy children and homes. She has three boys of her own, including a set of twins!

Episode 8: The Five Motivators of Early Preschool Behavior

Life with preschoolers is busy, and it can be difficult to find time to talk with your kids about God. Sometimes it seems impossible to fit one more thing into your day! We want to encourage you to simply lean into the moments that are already happening in your day-to-day life and and use those as a springboard to create habits in your home that will help establish a strong spiritual foundation in the heart of your preschooler. In Episode 6, Kendra Fleming and Emily Knox talk about three times of day when you can easily incorporate great habits and start conversations about God. Emily joined North Point Ministries 12 years ago. She helps lead and support our teams in UpStreet, our elementary environment, and she has four kids (ages 11, 9, 7, and 3). Emily is a fantastic mom, and you’ll love hearing about some of the habits she’s established in her home to help lead her kiddos toward their heavenly Father.

Episode 6: Creating Spiritual Rhythms in Your Home

Making your marriage a priority when you are parenting young kiddos is tough! There’s always someone who needs your attention, you’re typically running on lack of sleep, and it’s easy to put your relationship on the backburner. It’s countercultural, but the best parenting you will ever do is to build a home where your marriage comes before your children.  In Episode 9, Kendra Fleming and Matt Hayes talk about what it looks like to be intentional about pouring into your marriage. They highlight four practical ways to put some time and energy back into your relationship. Matt has been in ministry for 10 years and is currently the high school director at Woodstock City Church. He’s been married to his amazing wife, Larson, for 8 years and is the dad of four great kiddos (ages 6, 4, 2, and 4 months). We know that a healthy marriage creates a healthy family, and we hope these tips will be helpful as you think about how to put your marriage first!
