As many of you know, we live on acreage with several of our kids and 6 of our grandkids ages 9 down to 2 mos. My daughter-in-law suggested that I revisit the baby, toddler, and preschool years. So this episode is both for new parents with littles and more experienced parents with littles who might want an encouraging refresher/reminder.

Often when I’m struggling with or praying over what to talk about on the podcast, God reminds me to go back to the basics. There are SO many parenting topics out there that we can listen to or read about that make it easy to forget the basics of biblical parenting.
So today I want to go back to the basics of the importance of requiring obedience from our kids.
