    We Had "The Talk" With Our 11-Year Old.

    One of the most important conversations you'll ever have with your child is also one of the most intimidating. In this episode of the House of Roberts Podcast, we share a very personal parenting milestone as Michael talks about having "the talk" with our oldest son for the first time. How do you know when your child is ready? What should you say? How much information is too much? And how do you create an ongoing conversation instead of one awkward moment? We discuss why parents should lead these conversations before culture does, how to approach them with both wisdom and biblical truth, and why preparing your children for adulthood begins long before they're adults. We also talk about: • Why one-on-one time with your children matters • Helping children navigate new seasons of life • Raising confident sons and daughters • Why consistency builds security • Creating intentional moments that shape your children's future • Practical advice for having difficult conversations with your kids At House of Roberts, our mission is to encourage, equip, and inspire families to build Christ-centered homes that thrive.

    How do you raise kids who can handle adversity, overcome challenges, and keep moving forward when life gets hard? In Part 2 of this conversation, Michael and Gabrielle continue exploring one of their core parenting values: raising resilient, strong, and faith-filled children. From the words we speak over our kids to the environments we expose them to, every day presents opportunities to help our children develop confidence, character, and perseverance. The goal isn't to remove every challenge from their lives—it's to equip them to navigate challenges well. Drawing from personal parenting stories, youth sports experiences, biblical principles, and lessons they've learned along the way, Michael and Gabrielle discuss practical ways parents can help their children develop resilience and strength that will serve them for a lifetime. In this episode:• Why your words have the power to shape your child's identity• Teaching kids to own their mistakes and take responsibility• Helping children handle disappointment and adversity• The difference between building confidence and creating pressure• Why resilience grows through challenges• The importance of exposing kids to new experiences• How parents set the emotional temperature for difficult moments• Why partnering with the Holy Spirit is essential in parenting Raising resilient kids isn't about making them harder—it's about helping them become stronger, wiser, and more confident in who God created them to be. Because one day your children will face challenges without you beside them, and the strength you're building today will help carry them through tomorrow.
