    The EXACT System We Use To Train Our Kids To Do Anything

    The Bible tells parents to train their children, so you know we take that seriously here at Family Teams. But did you know there's a different between training your children and disciplining them? Discipline is part of the training process, but it's certainly not the whole thing. Learn the systems we use to train our kids to do everything from: - Cleaning up around the house before dinner, - Listen immediately and cheerfully - Quietly put themselves to bed - Cook meals - Clean up after meals ...and much, much more! On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:03 System vs philosophy 3:37 3 reasons why you need a framework 5:46 What should your training system look like? 14:02 How to get your kids to clean the house every day 16:49 Organic vs. systems thinking Resources Mentioned: Get our free "tips to train your child" PDF: https://familyteams.com/train Join the Accelerator to go deeper on this: https://familyteams.com/accelerator Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

    The Bible Says To Train Your Kids. Here's How

    Training your children is a Biblical mandate. But it's almost become a dirty word in 2026. "How dare you train your children! You're infringing on their liberty as individuals!" But this is part of God's expectation for parents - to raise them up in the way they should go. And that requires training. In this episode, we'll convince you briefly why training your kids is necessary (if you still need convincing), and then give you some practical tools and mindset shifts to start actually implementing this. Hit play and get decades of parenting experience in under 20 minutes. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 0:46 When Did Parenting Shift? 4:09 How Should Parents Think About Training Their Kids? 8:38 Reasons Why People Don't Train 10:27 How to Actually Train Your Kids 17:51 Getting On The Same Page As A Family Team Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com Resources Mentioned: FREE Child Training PDF: https://familyteams.com/team Family Teams Accelerator: https://familyteams.com/accelerator --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

    The Missing Ingredient When Disciplining Your Kids with Rachel Awtrey

    A few weeks ago, we posted a clip on Instagram of Jeremy reacting to a woman's explanation of her dad's unique discipline (which also included an incredible teaching on grace). It went pretty viral, being seen over half a million times on IG. Today, we're excited to bring it full circle by having Rachel Awtrey - the woman in the reel - on the podcast, to talk more about her father's wise discipline, fathering and mothering in general, and about her new book on finding joy, even in times of hardship and trial, to which she's no stranger. Listen in to hear why her dad's unique discipline actually worked, and how it's helped her in her own motherhood journey.
