There's plenty of talk around and on this show about the stages of child-raising and how to handle the various challenges.
But what about the challenges of handling that new phase of your child's life: adulthood?
As the father of grown children ages 31 to 51, Dave has a lot to share on this subject, both from what he's done well and what he hasn't done well.
Enjoy!

Today on ECF, we answer this listener question:
Hi there!
My husband and I have listened to a few of your podcasts and have enjoyed your perspective...while you offer some useful tips for parents who may have parenting issues with one child, the issues you address and other parenting issues are much more complicated to deal with when you are dealing with more than two or three or four children.
In my humble opinion, it is easy to have one on one conversations regarding behavior and faith etc with a child...but when you have several children in one room or situation (and unable to isolate the child who is having the issues/ needs), not only does the issue/ problem behavior often become exponentially worse, it also makes addressing the issue extremely challenging. : ) I would really enjoy hearing more insight from your father- a father of many (and a father of children older than a 4 year old) as well as other fathers of multiple children- maybe even fathers of multiples?
In no way do I mean to discount your advice or experience, and I do believe the same biblical principles can be applied. However, young children are pretty easily influenced by their parents/ adults and parenting more than one or two children (meaning being outnumbered) or exceptionally challenging children often require different/ more creative techniques. Thanks very much! : P
Thank you,
from parents of 5 (6 months, 4, 7, 9, & 11)

On today's episode, we cover this question from a listener: From a biblical perspective men are supposed to submit to God as their leader and women are supposed to submit to their husbands (unless he contradicts God's word) as their leader and children to their parents. Question: What are some of the best ways you've found that show your wife that you care, listen, and value her opinions, thoughts, and ideas while at times may reject or "veto" those contributions because you disagree with them. There may be many reasons why you would reject those (opinions, thoughts, ideas) but is there ever a reason to state "because I'm the man or husband" or should every disagreement be thoroughly explained and understood? It's tempting to say to a child, "because I said so" or "because I'm the parent" (even though those aren't the best reasons) but could you use the same rhetoric with an adult woman? If you do disagree how to you still honor and cherish her and maintain your leadership?

But just because it's common, does that make it a good one? Today, we dig in with some thoughts!

People often think of "love" as equating to "nice romantic gestures toward your wife." But is there a way to show love that goes a little deeper?
Consider our ideas today and consider if the impact of a house, home, and tackling the "Honey-Do" list might be worth considering.

Fatherhood is not for wimps. It can be tough. Really tough. When you're facing responsibility on all sides, it's easy to have your back bowed down under the circumstances.
Is this normal? Or is there just something wrong with you?
And, more importantly, what do you do when you're facing these circumstances? That's the topic of today's show.

Last week I shared some eye-opening audio that I believe should be mandatory listening for all Christian parents. This week, we follow it up with further discussion and a starting place for men.
Men, where do we start in leading our families and protecting our children? We must start with ourselves. We can't possibly lead anyone else into anything that we ourselves are not experiencing. So let's start there.
