Co-Parenting: Spy Kids
Air date: May 29, 2025
Ron: Never ask your child to become a spy kid.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: When my kids were young they enjoyed the movie, “Spy Kids.” It’s about the children of secret agent parents who rescue them from danger by becoming spies themselves. Now if you have children living between two homes don’t ask your child to be a spy for you.
Questions like, “is your dad still dating that woman,” or “how can she afford to give that to you?” They may seem harmless but they put your child into a loyalty bind that makes them feel guilty for loving people. It hurts your child. So instead give your kids your permission for them to love others. It won’t take anything away from you, but it’s a huge blessing to them. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
