Why Bad Attitudes Happen in Kids & Parents and The Way to Change Them
Aug 04, 2025
Hey friends,
Ever told your child to “fix that attitude”… only to watch nothing actually change?
Or maybe you’ve noticed some bad attitudes in yourself lately and you’re not sure where they’re coming from or how to fix them.
Here’s the thing:
š Attitudes aren’t the root problem.
They’re symptoms like smoke from a fire that’s burning deeper in the heart.
In this week’s video, I break down:
š” What an attitude really is (it might surprise you)
š” How they develop and why they get “bad”
š” The 3 core components of every attitude (and why most parenting gets stuck on the surface)
š” A 5-step heart-based process for changing attitudes by starting in the heart
This week's video is packed with real talk and practical help you can use now for both your kids and yourself.
If you’re feeling tired of the eye rolls, emotional outbursts, or even your own reactions … this video will give you the tools to go deeper and make real heart-level change.
Also, if you’re ready to parent with more peace and less frustration, don’t miss my Parenting Summer Sanity Camp (yes, it’s helpful even if in the middle of summer š). Check it out at https://www.jesushelpmeparent.com/summersanity . You'll be so glad you did.
