Famous at Home

In this episode, we lay the foundation for what really matters most when it comes to raising Gen Alpha kids—emotional safety. It’s also the beginning of how we got started with Famous at Home — discovering the power of, and talking about how to cultivate, a posture of emotional safety in our homes for our kids.

As we continue season 8 on Parenting Gen Alpha, we define what emotional safety is and why it matters for getting every outcome we desire in our kids. 

We also talk about the four walls of parenting, the importance of reparenting our own inner child, and why emotional safety is so important to who our kids are becoming.

One of the most intriguing, humbling, and challenging aspects of being a parent is how our kids mirror who WE are.
 
And what’s really difficult are the societal — or cultural — norms shaping who we are as humans.
Who are we becoming as adults?
How are the decisions we make shaping our kids?
Do our unrealized emotions influence how resilient our kids are becoming? 

As we continue our series on Raising Gen Alpha Kids, these are questions Dr. Josh and Christi address. Some highlights include:
What it means to “choose your hard”
How loneliness becomes a byproduct of self-protection
How silence plays itself out in marriage and the cost it has on our kids
What if you’re exhausted and can’t choose the hard thing?
The joy and “hard” of helping our kids build resilience

The stats of anxiety, depression, and stress on Gen Z (ages 14-28) are scary and higher than ever before. That’s not hyperbole.
 
What have been the cultural, familial, and individual influences at work, and what can parents of Gen Alpha (ages 0-13) learn from where we find ourselves?
 
We believe that parents hold the keys to influencing the next generation. And there is much more hope than might appear at the surface.
 
But the way through is by first addressing what may be our greatest adversary: Our own parental fears.
 
In this episode, we ask the question, “Why are we doing what we’re doing as families?” We address issues like the self-fulfilling prophecy, the role of epigenetics in child outcomes, and the spiritual laws that influence our decisions.

Marriage is arguably the most sanctifying relationship on the planet. Just consider the following questions:

Why is it that we tend to think our spouse is out to get us?
Why do we assume the worst about him / her?
What causes us to get so defensive?
Why do we get so offensive in our reactions?
Are the offenses we carry worth it?
 
Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, best-selling author of Love and Respect, joins us to talk about the lightbulb moments he discovered in 20 years of helping men and women stop living in their crazy cycle. What is the crazy cycle? Consider this: “Without love she reacts without respect. Without respect he reacts without love.”
 
But what’s more, Dr. Eggerichs discovered that “without love, defensively she reacts offensively without respect. And without respect, defensively he reacts offensively without love.”

In this episode, Dr. Eggerichs shares the way out of the cycle through principles like “80/20” and “Seeing God over your spouse’s shoulder.”
 
With many incredible convicting and encouraging insights, this is an episode we hope brings your marriage closer together.

Epigenetics is real. In other words, there’s a trickle down effect onto our kids based on our beliefs, feelings, and the environment in which we raise them.
 
In this episode, Pastor Max Lucado joins the show to talk about helping parents meet children in their anxious thoughts. Having written multiple books on anxiety, Pastor Lucado has a new 90-day devotional called Calm Thoughts for Kids, and joins the show to talk about what he’s seeing as a grandparent and how parents today can help their kids with their anxious days.
 
Having just become a grandparent for the sixth time, and about to be the seventh time, Pastor Lucado also talks about how grandparents can come alongside their adult children in raising their grandchildren.
