Listen "013: How to Help Your Kids Make Good Decisions"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we dive deep into how to guide your kids toward making good decisions. Join me and life coach, Entrice Rowe, as she shares expert advice on nurturing your child's decision-making skills, and the foundation needed for learning to make good choices. We discuss how to not overstep when letting your kids have some autonomy, what to do when you need to intervene, and how to model good decision-making for your children. Entrice also shares advice on how to help your children make decisions from a Christian faith perspective, keeping God first and following Biblical principles. Tune in to discover how you can help shape your child's future through thoughtful guidance and support.Key points:· Understand your own values and what's important· Establish foundational principles for your family, and share them with your kids· As your kids get older, bring them into the decision-making process· See what your children's strengths, weaknesses and personality are so you can tailor your support to each one individually· Start giving your kids choices when they're little so they can start to learn to make decisions — and leave some margin in your schedule to allow time for that · If you have a child who tends to make poor choices, then give them limited options to choose from that you select and would be happy with· Model for your kids that you are all on a team and need to work together. It's not just mom and dad's house. Giving kids agency and responsibilities within the home helps them take ownership and make good decisions· You make time for the important things — teaching life skills· When facing a situation where your child doesn't agree with your stance on something and your boundary — it all comes back to what you value as a family· If you want your children to honor and respect you, it starts with first honoring and respecting them. Show them you trust them.· Practicing making good choices starts at home· When your children make poor choices, you have to listen and not judge, to keep the communication openLinks Mentioned:· Decision Compass for setting the foundation for your decisions: www.anchoreddecisions.com/compass · Entrice's Instagram: Entrice's Instagram: www.instagram.com/entrice_rowe· Entrice's website: entricerowe.com· Entrice's Book "You Are Equipped: How to Do the Hard Things with Grace, Love, and Grit": https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Equipped-Things-Grace/dp/B084BY2DC7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=GZBID5VVM52P&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.hfis4GRMxpvOve_3NET4Yg.kGvITunEora7eigPF4aK07A1T6uwRO8_huB47s6GPW0&dib_tag=se&keywords=you%27re+equipped+entrice+rowe&qid=1715217548&sprefix=you%27re+equipped+entrice+rowe%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-1· I AM MOM — free online "Momference" registration: anchoreddecisions.com/iammomAbout Entrice:Entrice is a certified life coach with years of experience in helping women transform their mindset from fear to faith.
