Honest Parenting Part 2: Myths, Misconceptions, & Mistakes

In the second episode of our parenting series, Gretchen brings her perspective as a pediatrician, and Jennifer gets personal as we dig into some of the most debated parenting topics like spanking, time-outs, cry-it-out, Babywise, and what discipline looks like in real life.

This is not an idealistic parenting conversation; this is about navigating everyday life with little ones while trying to do the best we can… and realizing how hard it actually is. We talk about marital disagreements in parenting, what the research says, what faith adds to the conversation, and where things get messy when the parenting books give bad guidance. If you have ever questioned the advice you were given, felt caught between different parenting voices, or lived with intense regrets, you are not alone.

We hope you’ll find encouragement and inspiration in this rare take on raising the next generation. Thanks for finding a moment with us.
