In this episode, Larry & Dawne discuss the difficult balance between enabling and empowering your children. As parents, our natural instincts are to do whatever we can to protect and shelter our children from negative experiences. But by working through failure and pain, our children grow and mature, setting themselves up for success in the future.
Larry and Dawne discuss how their parenting styles were completely different due to life's circumstances....and how they feel their parenting positively and negatively affected their children.
Raising 10 children between them, spanning from middle school to high school to college to adulthood, they share a few experiences where their children were stuck in different situations which left Larry and Dawne to make the difficult decision to push them through the pain and discomfort of doing what they didn't want to do....ultimately ending positively....but the pain of doing it was real!
Parenting is hard stuff!!
