Emotional self-regulation and biblical self-control are not the same thing — but both matter deeply in a child's growth and development. In this episode of Early Childhood and the Bible, we explore the difference between helping children manage their emotions and teaching them to depend on the Holy Spirit as they grow in true self-control.

You'll discover:

  • The difference between emotional regulation and biblical self-control
  • Why children need developmental support before expecting mature responses
  • How to scaffold emotional growth in age-appropriate ways
  • Practical strategies to help children identify emotions, calm their bodies, and redirect their hearts
  • How to point children to Jesus while teaching emotional and behavioral skills

As parents, we are not just raising emotionally aware children — we are discipling hearts to grow in wisdom, dependence on God, and the fruit of the Spirit.
