If you let complaining persist while they are young it will grow in the character of your children as they get older, hurting your family culture and causing parenting burnout. If you have a dream for your family working together as a team, If you are discouraged by people grumbling when you ask them to do something, or even if you’re experiencing defiance in your home then this Courageous Parenting podcast episode will help.. Isaac shares a powerful glimpse into the future near the end of the episode that will encourage you in seeing the tremendous value and essential nature of instilling what we talk about in this episode. This episode will help you equip your children for the very different future they will be raising their own families in.
Main Points From This Episode:
- We share why we don’t use the word chores.
- We reference not giving allowance to our children
- It’s vital that children don’t see parents complaining about things
- Determine if it’s disobedience or if they are obeying but grumbling while doing so
- It’s important address both but you would do so differently (listen to episode)
- Use scripture to teach your children the importance of not complaining
- Help your children have vision for why we all participate in taking care of different things around the house
- In the future most homes will likely have robots that do much of the work around the house. Isaac gives a huge warning about the detrimental effects of this and encourages everyone to see the mundane as an important art that will one day be lost to most. Don’t let that be your children.

Scriptures From This Episode:
– Colossians 3:20-24 – “Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”
– James 4:17 – “So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.“
– Proverbs 13:4 – “The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied.”
– Galatians 6:7-9 – “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
– Proverbs 14:2 – “Whoever walks in uprightness fears the Lord, but he who is devious in his ways despises him.”
– Ephesians 4:29 – “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”
