Stop Getting Embarrassed- Parenting for Formation Not Performance
Spotify This week on the podcast, Dr. Beth Long explores how fear can quietly shape the way we parent. She discusses how many parents unintentionally turn their child’s mistakes, development, or struggles into a reflection of their own success or failure.
Drawing from both clinical insight and biblical principles, Dr. Long encourages parents to shift their focus away from performance and toward formation. Instead of reacting out of fear about what a behavior might mean, parents can guide their children with patience, perspective, and intentional teaching as they develop the skills they need to grow.
