    Equipped To Be with Connie Albers: Christian Parenting, Homeschooling, and Family Life

    Something is happening to families, and most parents feel it before they can name it.

    Today’s parents are raising children in a culture moving faster than any previous generation has faced. Artificial intelligence, devices, peer influence, and the relentless pace of modern life are shaping childhood in ways that leave even the most devoted parents feeling uncertain, outpaced, and afraid they’re getting it wrong. Most parenting advice tells you what to do. Equipped To Be helps you understand what’s actually happening to families and children in a rapidly changing culture so you can lead your children through it.

    Connie Albers is a family and cultural commentator, author, and keynote speaker with more than three decades of expertise in parenting, education & homeschooling, and family dynamics. A former Walt Disney World spokesperson and trusted media contributor, Connie brings cultural insight, hard-won wisdom, and a deep understanding of how families think and feel to every conversation. She has spent 35 years studying how children are uniquely designed and how parents can raise them to know exactly who they are and what they are equipped to be.

    Equipped To Be helps parents replace fear with clarity, uncertainty with confidence, and good intentions with the biblical wisdom to lead their families well; no matter what the culture brings next.

    There's a difference between resting and quitting. Many times I feel like I want to quit. Today, I want to remind you that it's okay to rest, but it's not okay to quit.

    How to Keep Kids Safe Online - 137 Nov 02, 2022
    Show notes

    I speak frequently about how to keep kids safe online. I've found two camps of parenting styles when it comes to technology and internet usage. On one side, some parents decide to give no access at all to technology. On the other side, they allow their kids near unrestricted access.

    If you've been around the Equipped To Be Podcast for very long, you know that I'm not a proponent of restricting all access to technology and the internet. At the same time, I've found that giving too much access without much monitoring and deep conversations with your kids can also backfire. I believe that the best middle-ground approach to tech usage is to use parental controls AND to have close relationships with your kids.

    What does this look like in practice? How do you keep your kids safe online? Listen to this episode for ideas for building relationships AND simple practices for safe tech usage. Read the full show notes with links here: https://conniealbers.com/how-to-keep-kids-safe-online

    Teaching Kids to Serve with Samaritan's Purse - 136 Oct 26, 2022
    Show notes

    In episode #134, I told you that teaching kids to serve is a great way to help manage the impacts of stress. I mentioned the recent devastation in southwest Florida from Hurricane Ian and that Samaritan's Purse is an excellent ministry to give money to or to partner with for serving in person in a disaster area. This week, Shannon Dailley from Samaritan's Purse joins me to talk about the work that ministry is doing in Florida and around the world.

    Shannon and I discuss the kinds of work that Samaritan's Purse does in disaster areas around the world. We also talk about how families can get involved together and how impactful that can be for kids for the rest of their lives. Shannon describes what volunteer day looks like starting with breakfast and devotions through volunteering for and ministering to a homeowner.

    *Please note that volunteers with Samaritan's Purse must be at least 14 years of age due to the nature of the work and proximity to heavy equipment.*

    This week on the podcast I'm doing something a little different. I'm answering some reader questions! Two types of questions that I receive regularly from parents center on stress and failure. So in this episode, I'm going to address how to manage the impacts of stress and failure for your kids.

    Raising Resilient Kids with Dr. Kathy Koch - 133 Oct 05, 2022
    Show notes

    I'm excited to welcome Dr. Kathy Koch back to the podcast! Dr. Kathy has a new book about kids and resiliency. She's back to talk with me today about this book titled Resilient Kids and to define and expand upon resiliency. This is about so much more than the trauma of living through a pandemic! I recently saw a statistic from Max Lucado that something like 80% of young people are feeling stress, anxiety, and/or depression. The mental health crisis in our country is staggering! Dr. Kathy and Celebrate Kids are doing what they can to educate parents. She's optimistic but realistic in the way that she teaches. In this episode, Dr. Kathy defines resiliency. She talks about things like walking with your kids through struggles, toxic positivity, working on self-talk, Big T vs little t trauma, and so much more!

    How to Implement Parenting Advice - 132 Sep 28, 2022
    Show notes

    Parenting is hard. Deciding how to implement parenting advice can be even more difficult. There are a lot of parenting books out there. I even wrote one myself! Sadly, many parenting books can come across as being the only right way to parent your child. You might start to think, "What is wrong with my child?" when doing what the author says on page 76 isn't working.

    In this episode, I want to encourage you to be careful of who you choose to listen to when it comes to parenting advice and show you how to decide which parenting advice to implement.

    Don't Let Your Kids Be Quiet Quitters - 131 Sep 21, 2022
    Show notes

    There's a new term in HR departments around the country: quiet quitters. It refers to people who don't want to overexert themselves. They do just enough to get their paycheck and not get fired. Your children have the opportunity to take the marketplace by storm in this quiet quitter culture!

    In this episode, I talk about how to raise kids who pursue excellence and know how to put in a good day of work instead of doing just enough.

    Immerse Yourself in Today - 130 Sep 14, 2022
    Show notes

    Are you immersing yourself in today? Or are you wrapped up in taking pictures "so you won't forget?" Or consumed with what someone else is doing? Or thinking about work that needs to be done? I have the same temptations and I want to encourage you to focus more on immersing yourself in today rather than the cares of tomorrow.

    How many times when you're on vacation or on a nature walk with your kids, do you pull out your phone and take pictures? You start snapping pictures of everything because you want to remember it all. You want to be able to look back and relive the moment later. How often do you take pictures but forget to be fully present in the moment?

    How to Get Through Trials - 129 Sep 07, 2022
    Show notes

    I've recently come through a very difficult season in my life. Trial after trial kept coming. I couldn't get through most days without at least a few tears or without feeling exhausted. For me, this season carried a lot of death and painful losses. For you, maybe it's saying goodbye to someone you love, a financial situation, or a wayward child. How do you get through trials?

    In my 20s, I was full of hope and expectations. My 30s were much of the same, running towards my goals for my life. But trials hit us all at some point in life. I wrote an article on this topic of trials recently in the Homeschooling Today Magazine. I shared how when we're in the midst of trials, it's easy to get discouraged and frustrated. It's hard when we can't accomplish what we're used to accomplishing!

    How do you survive these times of trial? I have some suggestions and encouragement for you! Read the full show notes with links here: https://conniealbers.com/how-to-get-through-trials
