See Your Child's Strengths in the Craziness

Your kids, with all the wild moments they bring, are fearfully and wonderfully made. That means God gave them gifts and strengths. Listen to us chat with Courtney and Joe Dewey (Connected Families Certified Parent Coaches) about finding your child’s giftings and celebrating them. They emphasize the value of self-awareness as a parent, recognizing your strengths to be a more effective parent, and helping your children identify and develop their unique gifts.

Courtney and Joe share personal stories of how they have celebrated and leveraged their family’s different strengths, such as assigning chores based on each child’s interests and dividing playtime according to complementary strengths. The conversation highlights the idea that families can thrive by focusing on and cultivating each family member’s God-given strengths.
