Join Brian & Katie as they discuss the difference between demanding and requiring certain behavior from our kids. The temptation is to demand that which we desire, but the problem with this approach is that it leads to fear, control, and intimidation. The alternative to demanding desirable behavior from our kids is to require it from them. It's not bad to want kids who are respectful, responsible, and obedient, but the value of each of those is found in knowing that they only truly exist in our relationships as a product of freedom and desire, not coercion under threat of punishment. In this episode you'll learn how to require what you need from your kids without the tension and power struggle that comes with demanding it.
