What to Do When Your Child Argues About Everything (Even the Bible)

What to Do When Your Child Argues About Everything (Even the Bible)21 jul15 min

<p>What do you do when your child loves to argue, especially about the Bible? In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz answers a parent whose 12-year-old insists Jesus sinned by staying in the temple and by clearing out the money changers. Elizabeth unpacks a question-first approach that keeps a child&#39;s genuine questions welcome instead of shutting them down, shows how to take a child back to the text of Scripture, and helps parents discern the heart behind the argument: real curiosity, anger, or pride. She then turns to a second, everyday kind of arguing, rebellion against a parent&#39;s instructions, and walks through practical, gospel-centered steps drawn from Ginger Hubbard&#39;s &quot;Wise Words for Moms&quot; chart for addressing both complaining and defiance. A hopeful, practical episode for any parent raising a strong-willed, question-asking child.</p>
