Ep. 8: Talking Toddlers (They're a Handful AND a Blessing) - Part 1

M Is for Mama Podcast

Yes, toddlers are hard. And infuriating. And crazy-making. 

But they're also adorable and winsome and a great big mirror of our own shortcomings and impatience. 

I've parented ten toddlers so far, and I can attest to both their challenges and their many rewards. I pray that these two episodes will encourage and equip you to approach your relationships with your toddlers in a biblical way that honors God and bucks our culture's negativity toward children in general but, perhaps especially, very small ones. 

We all know that just because something (or someone!) is hard does not mean it (he/she) is bad. And toddlers have some of the greatest potential for "hard goods" in every mama's life if she will only reject the narrative that they are something to be "gotten through" instead of an amazing opportunity for growth and joy and "professional development."
