Today, we are going to talk about a parenting habit that we rarely notice. If we don’t notice it, we can’t do anything about it. We have this tendency to lean into depending on our eldest child to do things, because it is faster and quicker and less frustrating. The reality is though, it is holding back our youngest kids, and at the same time, not doing any favours for our oldest either. So today I have some ideas to help us parent multiple ages and to parent in a way that benefits all our kids, not just our oldest, and not just the youngest.

The problem is though, that we only tell our children where the Bible clearly instructs us to train our children. Let’s look at what training means in a parenting context.
