We're starting a new series about raising kids with discipline and love, not perfection, focusing on speaking life and not labels into our children.
• Parenting is especially challenging during summer when schedules change and kids are home more
• "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit"
• Avoid using negative labels like "lazy" with your children
• Speak life by reminding kids of their value, talents, and the promises of God
• For adult children seeking jobs, offer support and connections instead of criticism
• Take time to listen to your children and what's happening in their lives
• Be self-aware of how you communicate with your kids
• Discipline through love rather than harsh words
• Extend kindness even to children outside your family who might need encouragement
Don't forget the prayer phone line is open today. It's free, and we'd love to hear from you.
