As parents, our “no” can often be more powerful than our “yes.” But, saying “no” comes with risk as well as reward. On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with two other pastors from Malvern Hill and discuss why saying “no” must be a part of our regular conversations with our children. We discuss a recent sermon, travel sports, ballet, screen time, social media, and internet gaming. Perhaps most importantly, we discuss the opportunity costs that come with the choices we make for our families.
Hopefully, along the way, we give other parents some extra tools in their tool kit to help make raising our kids a little easier.
One of the major topics in this podcast is Jonathan Haidt’s newest book, The Anxious Generation. Use this link to access information about the book and the research that supports it.
We also mentioned Brant Hansen’s book, The Men We Need.
