Do you ever feel like your emotional state rises and falls with how your kids are doing? When they’re happy, you feel okay.When they struggle, you panic.When they mess up, you feel like you failed. Maybe you’re constantly worried about their future.Maybe their behavior feels like a reflection of you.Maybe your peace depends on whether or not they’re okay. In today’s episode, we continue our series on the sneaky things that steal our joy by talking about one of the most tender and dangerous idols for moms: the idol of our kids. Not loving them.Not caring deeply.Not wanting what’s best for them. But placing our identity, security, and worth in how they turn out. We talk about how this shows up when:• You feel responsible for your child’s emotions• You fear their mistakes more than you trust God• You define your success by their behavior• You try to control outcomes instead of steward hearts• You lose yourself in motherhood This episode will help you:• Recognize where fear is driving your parenting• Understand why control feels loving but isn’t• See how making kids the center creates pressure instead of safety• Learn how to release your child back to God• Begin parenting from trust instead of anxiety If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by your child’s choices, behavior, or future — this episode will help you see what’s really happening underneath it. Your child was never meant to be your source of peace.God is. And when you let Him be, both you and your child can breathe again. love, Brittany Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?
