Be prepared to have the ground under your feet shifted by the powerful wisdom of Hal Runkel. He’ll question your basic beliefs and transform the way you think about parenting.

Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. The most damaging lie of parenting is that we are responsible FOR our children. 2. Kids are born to test us. Parenting asks us that we become grown ups and we do that by becoming less reactive and taking back the power over our emotional responses. 3. The mandate for self-care in the Christian and Hebrew traditions in “Love thy neighbor as you love thyself.” And the tough question that makes us really confront that.

Hal Runkel, Life, Love & Leadership Coach is the New York Times Bestselling Author of ScreamFree Parenting, helping parents create the family life they want most by learning to pause more and react less.
