S10 E19 Raising Kids Inside and Outside the Church
Manage episode 483442100 series 3619084
Episode 19 of Challenges explores parenting approaches within Mormonism and for those who've left the Church. We examine how Mormon parents focus on guiding children along the "covenant path" while post-Mormon parents often emphasize critical thinking and broader humanistic values. Despite different frameworks for teaching morality, we find common ground in the universal desire to raise good, caring humans. From Church programs to secular resources, we discuss the challenges faced by parents on both sides and highlight key principles that transcend religious boundaries: love, connection, respect for agency, and teaching children how to think for themselves.
