Parenting Counter-Intuitively

Don’t Set Rules for Dating - Episode 10

Josh and Tammy Season 1 Episode 10

Don't set rules for Dating?!?  That sounds disastrous! If we don’t set rules, they’ll do all kinds of crazy out-of-bounds stuff, won’t they?  Yes, without any rules, it would be crazy, but we don’t say there shouldn’t BE rules, but that as parents there are big questions like when to start dating that we need to coach them into creating their OWN rules for.

Our guests in this episode are the authors of "Protecting His Workmanship", a practical interactive and thoroughly Biblical study through which you can allow the Lord to speak His standards of sexual purity into your child’s life. http://www.searchforthetruth.net/store/books/protecting-his-workmanship/ 

This episode isn't just about sex and dating, but has broad application in helping your kids to develop the wisdom and autonomy to be able to set and stick to their own rules for important life decisions.

Finally, we’ll leave you with a couple of practical ways you can put this counter-intuitive concept into practice today.

As always, we don’t expect everyone to agree that this concept is correct or is right for your family but if it gets you thinking and more intentional with your parenting then it’s worthwhile.
