Parenting Practicals--Parenting Differently with Merrie Beth Eubanks
Episode 176
Sunday, 26 April, 2026
In this episode of Moms Take Ten, Lyssa is joined by fellow Connected Families certified parent coach Merrie Beth Eubanks for an honest and hope-filled conversation about parenting children with special needs. Drawing from her own family's journey, Merrie Beth shares how traditional parenting approaches often fall short—and how shifting expectations, embracing accommodations, and slowing down can open the door to deeper connection and growth. Together, they explore the Connected Families Framework, offering practical encouragement for reframing meltdowns, breaking down skills into manageable steps, and approaching both coaching and correction with grace. You'll be reminded that while this path can be stretching and humbling, it is also rich with purpose—shaping not only our children, but our hearts, our families, and our dependence on God. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, supporting a neurodiverse child, or simply longing for fresh perspective in your parenting, this conversation will help you breathe, reset, and remember: you're not alone, and God is at work in every step. Merrie Beth Eubanks is a wife and mother of four children ages 21 to 8, and lives just outside of Chattanooga, TN. Her journey as both a parent and educator has deeply shaped her passion for supporting families and helping children thrive. She is a certified Connected Families Parent Coach, and loves walking alongside parents as they build strong, connected relationships with their children. She holds a master's degree in education and serves as the Director of Curriculum, Individualized Learning, and Family Support for a new school opening this year. This school is designed to provide individualized instruction for students who need extra support, meeting them where they are academically, socially, and emotionally. Merrie Beth is passionate about helping families feel encouraged, equipped, and not alone in their parenting journey, and she is grateful to be part of conversations that bring hope and practical tools to everyday life. Lyssa is a Connected Families certified parent coach offering small groups for moms, individual parent coaching, and workshops.
