DQ - Session 5 - The Connection Where Hearts Meet

Discussion Questions

1. Would you describe your most natural style of engagement with the children you serve as Authoritative, Permissive, Neglectful, or Authoritarian? Has that changed as you’ve gained knowledge and experience?

2. Read through “You Are ‘The Good Boss’” on p. 79 of your workbook. Write about something that you hadn’t realized before, or something you needed to be reminded of.

3. “I (Karyn) may be the most demanding person that has been in this child’s life...I may also be the most joyful” (p. 82). Explain how these two seemingly opposed characteristics can blend into one parenting/caregiving style.

4. Where in Scripture do you see an example of Shared Power?
