How do you raise kids who can handle difficult emotions, bounce back from setbacks, and grow into wise, resilient adults?
In Part 2 of this conversation, Matt Jones and Janel Greig sit down with Dr. Marcus Warner, co-author of The Four Habits of Raising Joy-Filled Kids, to explore three essential habits parents can develop at home: Build Bounce, Correct with Care, and Develop Discipline Relationally.
Dr. Warner explains why joy is essential for emotional resilience, how parents can help children navigate overwhelming emotions, and why correction should flow from relationship rather than shame or anger.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
*Why relational joy helps children become more resilient
*What it means to help your child “build bounce”
*Why toddlers need help processing big emotions
*How to correct behavior without shaming your child
*Why children need to feel understood before correction
*The difference between correction and discipline
*How discipline can help children develop wisdom and self-control
*Why parents can’t pass on what they don’t possess
Raising healthy, resilient, faith-filled kids isn’t about getting everything right. It’s about building joy, creating connection, and growing together.
