Does routine with kids work? Two opposing experiences

Big Breakfast

There are few things that can wind up mums and dads more than someone telling them how to raise their own kids or criticising their method. But do youreally know it all? Even in scripture there are some questionable examples…

Should we have favourites? Jacob did with Joseph

How much authority should we have over our children? Eli lacked this.

Or what about when things don’t always make sense. Do you have the faith of Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father… 

Whether you have children or not, whether they are grown up or in the womb, whether they are by your side or you’re a spectator, we all have an opinion. Once a month from now until the Summer, Big Breakfast will be bring you parents and youth workers who will go head to head on their differing views – And we’d love to hear from you too. 

This week, two mothers of boys – Annie Willmot and Katie Robinson – One sticks to routine religiously, the other has no routine whatsoever; one wouldn’t label their children with negative or positive words, the other somewhat would. Is one right and one wrong?
