THE POWER OF A QUESTION
By Sarah Anderson


Questions are powerful—made all the more powerful when they are a response to what we intentionally listened for first. Purposeful questions are the best and easiest tool we have as parents to invest in the lives of our kids. They communicate that we want more than information—we want insight into what makes our kids tick, motivates them, challenges them, and hurts them.
A good first question says, “I’m interested.” Active listening says, “I care.”
An intentional second question says, “You matter.”
And what follows creates relational equity between you and your kids.
So sure, we can start, with the “How was your day?” “What happened at school?” “What did you learn at church?” But what happens next can’t be found in any book, blog, or article. What happens next is up to us. It can’t be scripted or predicted, but that’s where the magic happens . . .

DO THIS // CUDDLE TIME
Cuddle up with your child this month and pray, "Dear God, thank you for giving us Jesus to show us how to love you and love others. I pray as [child's name] gets older that [he/she] will follow Jesus so [he/she] will know the right way to go. Help me be a good example for [child's name] of what it means to follow Jesus. We love You, God. In Jesus' name, amen."

"'Come and follow me,' Jesus said."
Matthew 4:19, NIrV

MAKING PEACE WITH YOUR KIDS
By Sarah Anderson

Making peace is hard. Moving towards the one who’s hurt us is challenging. But a parent who makes peace with their kids now sows a relationship of peace in the future. 
No matter what my child does or says, no matter what my child doesn’t say, or doesn’t do, I want there to be no doubt about what he’ll get from me: a mom who’ll go to great lengths—not to keep the peace, but to make the peace . . .

FIGHT FOR THE HEARTBy Reggie Joiner

It’s so easy for us to make the rules more important than the relationship. It’s in the tone of our voice, our body language, and our eyes. If we are not careful, disappointment in our kids’ behavior can be translated into their hearts as rejection. The truth is our children will always challenge the rules and debate our reasoning, but we should strive to parent in a way that they can never question how much we love them . . .

THE ART OF DISCIPLINE:
MAKING IT HELPFUL

By Gina McClain
One thing I’ve learned about kids is that I cannot control their actions. There are times when I try. There are times I guide, nudge, remind, even harass . . . Yet in the end, they decide what action they will take. Not me. I don’t know about you, but that really gets under my skin. So I have to actively pray for guidance and patience. Recently, I was reminded of these words in Ephesians 4:29:
“Don’t say anything that would hurt another person. Instead, speak only what is good so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help those who hear you.” (GW)
It’s a timely reminder for me that my role as mom is to fight for the heart of my kids and to create a culture of unconditional love in my home that fuels their emotional and moral health. It’s especially important to remember in the more difficult moments, like when trying to discipline. Approaching discipline in a helpful way takes a lot of Practice, Planning, and Patience . . .
