Today Rev. Daniel Gowan touches on the third task of parenting: Setting Appropriate Limits 🚦

It can be easy to fall into the extremes of either setting too many limits and not letting children choose, or not setting enough in the hopes they figure out the middle ground.

Healthy parenting creates boundaries that guide without restricting, giving children space to make choices and grow into themselves. 💙

🌳 Today Rev. Daniel Gowan focuses on the task of nurturing. Supporting one’s child as they go through life. Encouraging safety and growth even after a long hard day. 🌱

“I love when you experiment with the colors when you do the crayon.” 🖍️🔴🟠🟡🟢🟢🔵

Or

“When you did the paint by number your creativity was great when you chose to put the blue with the grey.”💙🩶

Nurturing phrases such as this give children the space to reflect on things they have done on their own. Inviting them to continue that growth. 🤩

Rev. Daniel Gowan touches on a few important books that help teach us about systems and human development. Pushing us to see things through different lens to understand the perspectives of those around us! 🧩
