The difference? Validation vs. dismissal.

When your child has big reactions to "small" problems, remember: their emotional brain is on full blast while their thinking brain is still growing. This isn't defiance—it's development.

Understanding this changes everything about how we respond to our children's big emotions.

Make sure you’re taking the time to practice:

Self-care: find even small moments throughout the day to check in with yourself and be kind in this busy season

Connection: make sure you’re connecting with your God, spouse, friends, family and yourself

Boundaries: create boundaries that allow you the space you need to just breathe and reset. A weekly Sabbath or downtown can do wonders for your soul.

Here's how to thrive in this beautiful chaos:
✅ Acknowledge the change without blame - "This is hard" instead of "You're not helping enough"
✅ Pray together daily - Even 5 minutes reconnects hearts deeper than long conversations when you're exhausted
✅ Let God be your glue - When you're both running on empty, lean on Him for strength and unity
✅ Give each other grace - You're both learning this parenting thing together
✅ Remember you're still lovers - Not just co-parents, but partners who chose each other first

This season is stretching, but it's also sacred. Your marriage can grow even stronger through the beautiful mess of new parenthood! 💕

Navigating new parenthood together? We understand this season and we're here to support you.

Just like when you first became parents, you'll need to adapt, communicate, and prioritize each other in fresh ways.

Can we talk about something that might feel a little awkward? That moment when you realize you and your spouse grandparent completely differently... 🤔

🏆The goal isn't to grandparent identically. The goal is to grandparent as a team, using your unique gifts together to create a spiritual legacy.

09/13/2025

Who else feels like becoming a grandparent came with an instruction manual nobody gave you? 😅

Becoming a grandparent comes with a whole new set of expectations to navigate. This new role is an invitation for you to grow closer to your spouse.

Your marriage has survived becoming parents. It can absolutely thrive as you become grandparents too! 💕
