Parenting is hard! The Morning Thing is here to help.

Tuesday’s show focused on parenting.

Allprodad.com has 6 things parents need to know when children need discipline. Click HERE to be inspired by author, Derek Maul.

We also shared tips on how to prepare your child for the real world. Click HERE for some really insightful tips from author, Andrew Linder.

Our big takeaway from today – daily prayer is crucial for your parent journey. Andrew Linder gave this advice:

Encourage your kids to pray daily.

If children can learn while they are still at home to rely upon God’s help to get them through whatever they face, they are miles ahead for their future. Nothing you do as a parent carries as much life-long weight as helping your children learn how to genuinely walk with God for themselves.
