Welcome to Season 7 of The Lighthouse Podcast! In this episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with Karen Stubbs, founder of Birds on a Wire—a ministry dedicated to supporting and empowering mothers through every stage of motherhood. With 35 years of marriage to her husband Greg, they've raised four children and have been blessed with five grandchildren.

Today, Karen sheds light on the fascinating world of temperaments and how understanding them can revolutionize parenting. It all started when Karen struggled to comprehend her son Taylor's behavior at around age 3. Thankfully, a friend recommended "Personality Plus for Parents" by Florence Littauer, which opened Karen's eyes to temperaments and how God wired us all differently.

Karen provides practical examples of how parents can support their children through different temperaments, including those on treatment, while fostering sibling harmony. In crises, Karen emphasizes the significance of recognizing each temperament's core needs. This knowledge enables parents to meet specific needs daily, enhancing their child's emotional well-being.

Lastly, Karen delves into the importance of understanding your spouse's temperament, especially during emotional moments. By appreciating and respecting each other's unique emotional responses, couples can provide the space and support aligned with their God-given wiring.
