Potty training is one of the most common parenting milestones and often, one of the most stressful. In this episod, we offer a refreshing grace-filled perspective that rather than chasing quick fixes or rigid timelines, invites parents to slow down, follow their child’s cues, and see this developmental stage as an opportunity to walk with their child.

Blending research, practical steps, and biblical encouragement, this episode reframes potty training as a joy-filled process of growth (as much as it can be), independence, and discipleship.

Episode Highlights

[00:00:00] Introduction: Why potty training feels stressful for so many parents
[00:04:30] When to begin: Signs of readiness, developmental timing, and early interest
[00:08:00] First steps: Preparing your environment and changing your expectations
[00:13:30] Nighttime training strategies: Sheets, plastic covers, and grace
[00:19:00] Language tips: Avoiding phrases like “Do it for Mommy”

3 Takeaways

1. Potty training is your child’s developmental work not a performance to manage or a schedule to control. When you treat it as a learning process rather than a task to complete, you reduce pressure and increase joy.
2. Encouragement beats rewards. Positive reinforcement rooted in celebration, praise, and connection is more effective than material rewards or punishments. Visuals, routines, and sibling examples help build independence.
3. God invites us to walk with our children in every milestone including potty training. With patience, presence, and prayer, we can guide them through this stage as a form of loving discipleship.

Summer offers a unique opportunity to slow down, connect, and refocus on what really matters. But for many parents, it quickly becomes a season of hustle, pressure, and endless activity. In this episode, we explore how to reclaim the summer months with purpose, peace, and joy. We share practical, faith-centered ideas for engaging your children from backyard discovery and theme days to pointing your kids to God through nature and Scripture.

With encouragement rooted in biblical wisdom and real-life examples, this episode reminds us that summer doesn’t need to be full of structure to be full of meaning.

Matthew 13:3-9
Matthew 13:18-33
Ephesians 5:19-20

[00:00:00] Introduction
[00:03:30] 3 Strategies for Laying a Foundation this Summer
[00:15:30] Four-part Garden framework: Prepare, Weed, Tend, Irrigate

3 Takeaways

1. Summer is a valuable time for preparing the soil of your child’s heart. By slowing down and creating space for unstructured play, natural discovery, and quiet reflection, you nurture their imagination, curiosity, and spiritual awareness.
2. You don’t need an elaborate itinerary to have a meaningful summer. Simple theme days, outdoor play, and intentional moments of connection can offer more joy and growth than packed calendars and over-programmed weeks.
3. Pointing your children to God doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether through conversations about nature, stories of Jesus as the living water, or planting seeds in a garden, every summer moment can be a discipleship opportunity.

Sleep: it's one of the most talked about (and stressed over) topics for new parents. In this episode, we break down the wide world of sleep training. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution, we'll offer you wisdom, humor, and grace to help you make informed, faith-filled choices for your family.

From Ferber to co-sleeping, historical context to biblical encouragement, this episode walks parents through a variety of methods while emphasizing unity, curiosity, and compassion in the journey. If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or just wondering what works, this conversation should bring both clarity and comfort.

WEBSITES:

Episode Highlights

[00:00:00] Introduction
[00:05:00] Overview of popular sleep methods
[00:14:00] Safety considerations: SIDS, firm mattresses, and trusted resources
[00:18:00] Research review: What studies say—and don’t say—about sleep training success
[00:27:00] The power of a perspective shift: Reframing the fatigue with grace

3 Takeaways

1. There is no one “right” sleep training method. Each family must prayerfully and practically choose what aligns with their values, their child’s temperament, and their own needs.
2. Parental unity is key. When mom and dad agree on sleep routines, children thrive and so does the marriage.
3. The most effective bedtime routine is consistent, peaceful, and relational. Children benefit deeply from structure, connection, and loving presence at the end of the day.

Anxiety is often a companion for many mothers, especially in today’s world of ever-changing information and the overwhelming pressure to "get everything just right." In this episode of The Mind of a Child, we offer faith-filled wisdom for anxious moms including practical strategies, journaling tips, and the reminder that God gently leads those who are raising young children.

With real-life stories, scripture reflections, and a powerful framework for reframing fear, this episode equips moms to shift their focus from worldly worry to Godly peace and trust that He has already equipped them for the journey of motherhood.

Episode Highlights

[00:00:00] – What young moms are worrying about today
[00:05:00] – The "blessing" of anxiety
[00:09:00] – Practical journaling methods: SOAP, OIA, topical studies, gratitude, reflection
[00:20:00] – Bible verses to root your heart in peace: Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 139, and more
[00:25:00] – Listener question: How to create a quiet time with a 4-year-old

3 Takeaways

1. Anxiety in motherhood is not a flaw but a signal—an invitation to draw near to God. When we reframe anxiety as a call to communion with Christ rather than something to avoid or fix ourselves, we shift from fear to faith.
2. Journaling is a powerful spiritual tool that helps mothers process truth, hear from God, and retain His promises. Whether using prompts like SOAP or simply pouring out your heart, journaling slows the mind and centers the spirit on what is eternal.
3. Quiet time is not limited to solitude or silence. Whether with a 4-year-old by your side or in the midst of chores, building rhythms of Scripture, prayer, and worship—even in simple ways—can bring peace into the chaos of motherhood.

What does it actually mean to “train up a child in the way he or she should go”? In this episode, we unpack Proverbs 22:6 in a deeply practical and spiritually rich conversation.

From Scripture-based parenting moments at the dinner table to practicing respectful behavior in public, this episode offers biblical guidance and real-world examples to help you nurture your child’s heart, habits, and faith.

2. Effective teaching includes instruction, application, and joyful practice - From quoting scripture during teachable moments to role-playing expected behaviors, parents can disciple their children through consistency and connection.
3. Prayer is central to parenting - Only God can transform hearts. While we are called to train and teach, it is the Holy Spirit who ultimately brings about lasting change in our children’s lives.

Learning to read is one of the most pivotal milestones in a child’s life—and yet, it’s often clouded with pressure, comparison, and confusion. On this episode, we explore what it really means to be “reading ready” by drawing from research-backed methods, personal parenting experiences, and biblical principles. We'll help you understand how to foster early literacy in a way that honors both the child’s pace and God’s design. 

With insights on vocabulary development, phonics, phonemic awareness, comprehension, and even the fourth-grade slump, this conversation equips parents with practical tools and the reassurance to trust the process—while never losing sight of the joy of reading and the power of God's Word.

Episode Highlights:

[00:00:00] – Introduction: Why reading matters and how it shapes lifelong success
[00:06:00] – Proven strategies for reading readiness: Language-rich environments and daily life learning
[00:13:00] – Breaking down the components of reading: Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension
[00:18:00] – Understanding the fourth-grade slump: How vocabulary impacts academic success
[00:25:00] – Tips for reluctant readers: Observing interests and introducing engaging materials

3 Takeaways:

1. Reading is a developmental process that unfolds naturally over time - Parents are encouraged to resist comparison and pressure, instead creating rich, contextual environments where children can grow at their own pace—supported by love, conversation, and daily experiences.
2. Vocabulary is the single greatest predictor of long-term reading comprehension and academic success - From infancy through early elementary years, exposing children to diverse, rich language—through conversation, books, songs, poetry, and storytelling—is essential.
   Reading readiness is not just about decoding words. 
3. True literacy includes phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension - These components are best developed through daily living, joyful interaction, and exposure to meaningful content, especially scripture and high-quality literature.

Conflict is an unavoidable part of life, but how we handle it—especially within our families—can shape relationships for years to come. In this episode, we explore the biblical principles of conflict resolution and forgiveness. From understanding how often conflicts arise in childhood to using scripture as a foundation for reconciliation, this conversation offers practical steps for guiding children through disputes in a way that fosters peace, understanding, and faith.

Whether you're navigating sibling rivalry, parent-child disagreements, or even conflicts within your marriage, this episode will equip you with the tools to model healthy conflict resolution and cultivate a home built on love and grace.

Episode Highlights:

[00:00:00] – Introduction: Why conflict resolution is essential for children and families
[00:03:00] – Biblical foundation: Matthew 5 and Matthew 18 on addressing disputes
[00:09:00] – A personal story: Learning to handle correction and avoiding resentment
[00:11:00] – Modeling forgiveness: Teaching kids to say "Please forgive me"
[00:14:00] – Why strong relationships reduce conflicts: A proactive parenting strategy
[00:16:00] – Teaching children to be "unoffendable" and quick to show mercy
[00:18:00] – Keeping Christ at the center: Encouraging gratitude and daily forgiveness

3 Takeaways:

1. Conflict resolution is not about avoiding disagreements but about learning to navigate them with love, humility, and biblical wisdom. Teaching children how to manage disputes will not only help their sibling and peer relationships but will also set them up for success in marriage, work, and friendships as they grow.
2. Forgiveness is a choice, not just a feeling. The Bible teaches that we should forgive as we have been forgiven, meaning that choosing to forgive—rather than holding onto resentment—leads to healing, unity, and restored relationships. Helping children understand this truth early on will equip them with the ability to extend grace to others.
3. Strong relationships are the foundation for reducing conflict. When children feel secure, loved, and connected, they are less likely to engage in unnecessary disputes. Prioritizing family time, shared activities, and intentional conversations can create an atmosphere of peace and understanding.

Navigating parental authority can be challenging, especially when young children test boundaries through behaviors like hitting. Many parents struggle with being too permissive or too authoritarian, unsure of how to guide their child in a way that is both firm and loving.

Through real-life examples, biblical wisdom, and practical strategies, this discussion will help you confidently lead your child while fostering respect, love, and spiritual growth.

3 Takeaways:
