I’m the one who ostensibly believes “Uncomfortable Conversations are Worth Having,” right? But when it comes to actually hitting “publish” on all those burning relationship questions, sometimes I feel squeamish.
It helps that clients commission me to write about all the awkwardness. So I’m corralling a few pieces to help you pick through some of the tough stuff in your own home.
I’ve begun contributing regularly to Focus on the Family–so see what you think of these.

Hello! I’m reading your book Permanent Markers and am loving it- my son is 2 and I tend to be a rather firm mother; your book is helping me to reconnect to the loving side of parenting (like it was with my child as a darling baby) rather than the constant discipline it feels like two year olds need to keep from turning into gremlins. Already I know that I’m parenting from shame rather than from love, and I want to do better!! Your section that talked about making our kid’s Christian behavior our idol really spoke to me- I’m doing that and it’s bad! I can’t wait to keep reading and reconnecting with my toddler. 🙂
Thanks!
