Peer influences are powerful and there will be times other adults are around your children as they get older. Children must know when to disobey authority, what’s appropriate behavior, what to do when someone tries to touch them in the wrong places, and so much more. Isaac and Angie Tolpin dive into how to equip littles, middles, and teenagers to protect their body, their eyes, what boundaries to expect, and overall how to navigate in today’s world. 

They break their direction up into three periods of time in your children’s lives where you will go from high directive parenting, to guiding, and finally moving towards coaching your children in the teenage years. You’re still the parents and at times regardless of their age you’ll be directing, but be warned, if you don’t adjust over time, you will cause the opposite of what you want in your relationship with your children.

Main Points From This Episode:

• We can’t be isolationists as parents, if you are, as you warn your children about the fallen ways of the world, instead of growing stronger, they will grow fearful if they aren’t experiencing being around people.
• It’s important to be the first to teach your children about the tough topics and we must do so earlier than we probably would like to.
• There are three age seasons in children’s lives that require a different approach to teaching your children about how to thrive in unprecedented times. (Listen to episode)
• It’s important to proactively talk about boundaries to set (Listen to episode to hear what the Tolpins recommend)
