Synopsis
Lynnette and Greg Sheppard believe that raising children need not be confusing, stressful, or anxiety-ridden. It can and should be relaxed, straight-forward, and even enjoyable. This husband and wife pair have spent the past 20 + years in the trenches of raising five very different children, most of whom have insanely strong wills. In the process, they have learned what it takes to raise responsible, respectful, resilient, self-disciplined, independent, faithful young adults. The secret ingredients are a vintage combination of love, leadership, and common sense. Listen in each week for an animated and thought-provoking discussion about raising top-notch kids in this crazy, mixed-up world. You will walk away with both strategies and inspiration to help you strengthen your family and set your kids up for success. (And, in case you were wondering, Lynnette is a certified parenting coach and Greg is a pediatric dentist who works with all sorts of kids and their parents.)

Episode 003 - To Every Thing There is a Season
18/02/2019 Duration: 58minLike it says in Ecclesiastes chapter 3, life is full of seasons. Because raising a child is a marathon and not a sprint, it is marked by seasonal changes. In this episode, we do a deep dive into the three seasons of parenting that begin with birth and end with emancipation. Each season has very specific goals that, if met, will prepare the child for the next season. If all goes well, the end result will be a respectful, self-disciplined, resilient, competent young adult who is prepared for the rigors of independent living. Even if your kids are teenagers, this episode is packed full of useful information. Unfortunately, too many kids are not meeting seasonal goals on schedule, which has huge implications now and in the future. If you want to raise kids who are prepared for real life, this episode is for you.

Episode 001 - Welcome Aboard!
18/02/2019 Duration: 39minWelcome to the brand-new Throwback Parenting Podcast! In this episode, we introduce ourselves and tell the story of our parenting journey. It started out rough, leaving us feeling like failures as parents while our young kids walked all over us. As a result of a series of events that took place when our oldest child was about seven-years-old, we decided to throw everything we thought we knew about raising children out the window and build our parenting philosophy from scratch. That decision changed our lives, giving us confidence and hope as we watched our children's behavior dramatically transform before our eyes. It was one of the best things we have ever done for our family. Now that most of our kids are teens and young adults, we have a great desire to share what we have learned with the world. Listen in for more all the details, and welcome to our tribe!
