All of Parenting is a Cycle

Your attachment style is the product of your parents’ attachment styles. Attachment is a dance. And you learned how to dance with your parents.

If you want to look forward to how your attachment patterns may affect your children, look backward to how your parents’ patterns affected you.

And also: Our God is greater than our pasts, close in our sufferings, faithful in our gaps, stronger than our weaknesses, powerful in our shortcomings, and always, only good to us & our children.

We explore how to best love our kids so that we can be faithful to this all important job God has entrusted to us. We explore our own struggles so that they can be exposed to the power of the gospel. Any knowledge or insight we gain simply lead us back to Him in dependence.

Attachment parenting is exhausting. And if you’re wondering how to do it consistently & well:
You try.
And you fail.
And you repent & restore & reorient.
And you fail again.

Being available to your kids, prioritizing connection, seeing & meeting the needs behind behaviors, and leading with compassion and love—as parents, we do the work, but we never arrive.

All of parenting is a cycle, bringing us over & over again to our desperate need for the grace of God.
