  • Unveiling the 7 Traits of Effective Christian Parenting with Dr. Danny Huerta

    Unveiling the 7 Traits of Effective Christian Parenting with Dr. Danny Huerta
    Jun 4 2024
    “If you look at how our behaviors are built, it starts with our relationships, experiences, and genetics. From those three, you get these beliefs that influence your thoughts and your emotions that are automatic throughout the day, which influence your behaviors. So, if you want to truly change your behaviors, you begin with gratitude because it changes your perception, changes your belief about something, and changes your thoughts and emotions.” – Dr. Danny Huerta. Dr. Danny Huerta oversees Focus on the Family’s initiatives that equip mothers and fathers with biblical principles and counsel for raising healthy, resilient children rooted in a thriving faith. He is a bilingual psychologist, licensed clinical social worker, and author of 7 Traits of Effective Parenting. Dr. Huerta has maintained a private practice in Colorado Springs since 2003 and has served families through Focus on the Family since 2004. During this episode, Danny shares his insight and practical advice for raising healthy, resilient children rooted in a thriving faith. Dr. Huerta discusses the reasons for writing 7 Traits of Effective Parenting, including the need for practical steps for parents and the lack of a roadmap incorporating important principles for effective parenting. Danny also outlines the assessment, What Are Your Parenting Strengths? and how it provides a means for parents to determine their top strengths, possible strengths, and areas of growth as parents. The 7 traits of effective parenting: Adaptability: Be open to adjusting to your child's changing needs and behaviors. Show them flexibility while establishing consistency in routines and rules. 2. Respect: See your child clearly with love and care. Recognize their unique personalities and affirm their value and worth consistently. Intentionality: Be purposeful in your interactions with your child. Take deliberate steps to spend quality time together, engage in meaningful conversations, and foster a strong bond. Steadfast Love: Demonstrate unconditional love, support, and presence for your child, especially during challenging moments. Your consistent love provides a secure foundation for their growth. Boundaries and Limits: Establish and communicate clear boundaries guided by love and respect. Provide the necessary guidance and correction to shape your child's behavior and character. Grace and Forgiveness: Embrace a culture of forgiveness and grace within your family. Teach your child the importance of acknowledging mistakes, seeking forgiveness, and extending grace to others. Gratitude: Cultivate an attitude of gratitude in your family. Encourage expressions of thankfulness, foster a spirit of appreciation, and model gratitude in daily interactions.
