Biblical Parenting Deep Dive

00:00 / 15:12

In How to Stop the Arguing from Dr. Scott Turansky’s How a Heart-Based Approach to Parenting Changes Everything!, Dave and Marsha discuss how everyday power struggles with children can be transformed by focusing on the heart rather than just behavior. Dr. Turansky explains that arguments fade when parents stop reacting to defiance and instead build connection, give clear instructions, and teach responsibility. He reminds them that “it takes two to argue but only one to stop,” urging parents to model calm authority and nurture internal motivation in their children. The result is a peaceful, cooperative family atmosphere grounded in understanding and heart-level change rather than control.
