Saying “yes” feels easier in the moment, but real love is strong enough to say “no.”
In Episode 256 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra talk about why loving your child sometimes means setting limits, holding boundaries, and saying no, even when it’s hard. In a culture that pushes parents to keep kids constantly happy, giving in can feel easier than standing firm. But in the long run, it weakens character and undermines trust.
You’ll discover:
- Why boundaries actually make kids feel safer, not restricted.
- How saying “no” shapes responsibility, resilience, and self-control.
- Biblical wisdom on discipline and love in action.
- Practical ways to enforce limits without shame or anger.
- How to handle guilt, pushback, and parenting pressure.
If you’ve ever struggled with guilt after saying no, or wondered if you’re being too hard on your kids, this episode will encourage you to see boundaries as an act of love.
Listen now for biblical parenting wisdom and practical tools to help you raise confident, faith-filled children.
