Would you love to stay gentle at the same times as keeping clear boundaries in place? I'm chatting with a dad this week who 'walks the walk' - humble enough to know where he goes wrong, but strong enough to know where he's going. I found his insight inspiring - and his sense of humour!
With strength and gentleness your kids will feel loved and safe. They'll know your expectations and limits clearly and know that your love is consistent when they make good choices and poor choices.
Thanks for joining us this week. I'll put some notes up on my blog so you have something in writing to refer to: Here's the link
And if you love strong, gentle parenting, you'll love my book; Parenting For Life. It's lovely to hold, lovely to look at, lovely on a coffee table quite frankly. And choc full of great ways to raise strong gentle adults from very small. Here's the link, with a 25% discount to my listeners.

Here's a new aspect to parenting. It might not be our parenting, but fostered children and fostering parents are in our community and at the school gates. Abuse and neglect are around every corner. It's always helpful to understand the life of another, so this is an aspect of parenting we thought would be informative for our listeners.
