If you’ve ever struggled to find the line between teaching your children life skills while also not putting them in dangerous situations, then this episode is for you. In it, we explore what the true purpose of promoting autonomy in our kids is from a biblical perspective and how we can do that while fulfilling our God-given parental roles of protecting and discipling. Practicing discernment in parenting is hard in lots of areas—but especially ones in which there is so much noise about the psychological ramifications of we do/do not do something just so. Be encouraged we have great agency, as Spirit-led parents, to make judgment calls in this area of responsibility and safety that work for our families.
