Parenting, Boundaries, and the Wisdom of Saying Yes (and No) with Alyssa Hanna

When should parents say “yes” to their children—and when is it loving to say “no”?

In this episode of Rooted by the River, the family ministries podcast from Spanish River Church, John sits down with Alyssa Hanna to talk about healthy boundaries in Christian parenting. Alyssa is a mother of three young children and a licensed counselor who works with teenagers, bringing both professional insight and real-life parenting experience to the conversation.

Drawing from a parenting and boundaries class taught at Spanish River Church, Alyssa and John explore how biblical wisdom, emotional health, and clear boundaries help parents raise children who are secure, resilient, and rooted in Christ.

Whether you’re parenting toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between, this conversation offers practical tools, faith-based encouragement, and hope for overwhelmed parents navigating everyday decisions.
