On this Focus on the Family broadcast, Michael Anderson and Dr. Timothy Johanson encourage moms and dads to change their perspective about parenting – to stop trying so hard to create “perfect kids,” to lecture less, and to step back and let natural consequences teach their children instead of stepping in to fix things. Our guests explain how warnings, reminders, and threats are ineffective, and why our kids need to know the truth about themselves and the world instead of getting false affirmation. Michael and Timothy also examine common self-protection strategies (like rage, withdrawal, and perfectionism) and the misconception about telling kids to “just do your best.”
