Ep. 136: Raising Responsible Kids (A Chat with RuthAnn Zimmerman)
One of my biggest FAQs involves questions about chores, kids’ responsibilities, and teaching children self-discipline.
On this episode, I invite my friend RuthAnn Zimmerman to share her wisdom about intentionally facilitating responsibility and stewardship in children through hard work, discipline, and appropriate expectations.
She talks about how they chose to take on animals and tasks for the sake of giving their children meaningful work, how we as moms should be “working ourselves out of a job”—at least for a time— and why our idolization of childhood can actually hold our children back.
