What to Do When Your Child Argues About Everything (Even the Bible)
About this episode
Elizabeth Urbanowicz provides practical advice for parents dealing with argumentative children, especially regarding biblical discussions.
What do you do when your child loves to argue, especially about the Bible? In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz answers a parent whose 12-year-old insists Jesus sinned by staying in the temple and by clearing out the money changers. Elizabeth unpacks a question-first approach that keeps a child's genuine questions welcome instead of shutting them down, shows how to take a child back to the text of Scripture, and helps parents discern the heart behind the argument: real curiosity, anger, or pride. She then turns to a second, everyday kind of arguing, rebellion against a parent's instructions, and walks through practical, gospel-centered steps drawn from Ginger Hubbard's "Wise Words for Moms" chart for addressing both complaining and defiance. A hopeful, practical episode for any parent raising a strong-willed, question-asking child.
