For us it often seemed to center around discipline...we just weren't on the same wavelength! Yeah, it wasn't pretty.

But we've learned that when it comes to parenting, uni...

Hey there, Parents! Today on Better Together, we're diving into a topic that's super important but often overlooked: setting boundaries for your kids. Let's face it, boundaries can feel like a buzzkill sometimes. We want our kids to feel loved and free, but without clear limits, things can get chaotic fast.

From the time you brought your precious little baby home from the hospital to the day they step out into their own adult life, the Biblical design for parenting is taking a helpless, dependent baby and producing an adult that has discernment, wisdom, and independence.

What is the goal of parenting?
Is it to raise great kids? Is it for your kids to have fun? Is it to train your kids to be respectful and well-adjusted?

Nope...your job ...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
