Episode Description

In this continuation episode of The Unsidelined Life, Eileen Noyes shares four life-changing principles from Life Skills International that transformed how she parents her eight children through divorce, trauma, and everyday challenges. Drawing from her seven years as a facilitator, Eileen reveals the single most important truth every parent needs to understand: all kids take responsibility for all losses all the time, meaning children naturally blame themselves for divorce, death, abuse, and family dysfunction even when it has nothing to do with them. She explains how life commandments - statements like "you're stupid" or "eat everything on your plate" - become permanent programming that follows children into adulthood, and shares her own life commandment about appearance that stemmed from overhearing one comment her father made to her mother. Eileen discusses the grammar stage of classical education and why the early years are critical for planting truth in children's subconscious minds through songs, scripture, and repetition. She also addresses the biblical principle of training children in their bent, explaining how parents often squash their children's natural gifting by trying to make them replicate the parent's interests or accomplishments. This episode provides deep psychological and spiritual insights for parents who want to understand what's happening beneath the surface of their children's behaviors and help them process difficult life experiences with truth rather than lies.

Discover why your children might be carrying guilt and shame for things that aren't their fault and learn how to speak truth into their subconscious minds.
