The Popular Phrase Harming Christian Parents

If “God has given me everything I need to raise my kid,” as I’ve often heard, I have a question. “Where’d he put it?”

While I understand the good intentions behind this statement and others like it, this mindset does more harm than good.

Parenting is relationship work at its most complex, mysterious, and difficult. We know every other relationship arena – from marriage to business – requires actively acquiring knowledge and skills for success. Yet the shaping of human beings is supposed to somehow be innate – especially for moms. But this false narrative has a high cost.

Defensiveness and/or deep insecurity can result that leads to all kinds of missed opportunities, regrets, and adults in need of significant repair.

Innate capacity, desire, and protectiveness do not automatically produce knowledge and wisdom. If only it were that simple!

We can stop depriving parents, especially moms, of the keys they need to open doors of success with a new attitude!
