This week, Margaret and Darrell talk with their friends Barbara and Troy Lingenfelter about their parenting journey with their daughter. Some great tips and thoughts for all parents. Don't miss this week's "Parenting Hot Topic"!

This week Margaret and Darrell take a few minutes to talk about some holiday traditions that we all get to decide how we want to face them with our kids. 

Often, parents  share things with their kids (whether they mean to or not) that can lead to extra stressors on kids. Sometimes, this comes from parents using their relationships like they are buddies. Margaret and Darrell discuss what is too much and what are the repercussions of sharing too much. 

This week, Margaret and Darrell sit down with their friends John and Stephanie Van Pay to discuss walking through dating with your kids. They answer questions like: How do you promote healthy dating actions before your kids get to that point? How do you get you rebound when you haven't been great examples of a healthy relationship with your children? 

This week Margaret and Darrell sit down and talk with their friends Parker and Amy Dickerson about moving your kids to a new place and ways you can help them in those moments. They throw in some Hot Sports opinions about Tik Tok Challenges and parents what they need to know about those. 

Darrell and Margaret kick off a new season of Parenting Isn't Easy with a rundown of 10 of the Hottest Parenting Debates. None of which were big debates in our house but here is our take on them. 

Margaret and Darrell have special guest Michelle Garland on this week to talk about parenting in balance when your kids play sports, are busy with friends and church, and all the other things that our kids do. Join the conversation as we figure out what that looks like for all of us. 

This week, we talked about how to talk about the tough scary topics that our kids and families are looking at deal with in this great world we live in. 

Make sure and listen without your kids. We want you to have some of these tough conversations. No need to have Pastor Darrell and Mrs Margaret start them for you.
