One way we can encourage our kids (even when we don’t feel like it)
A few weeks ago, I got a text message from my dad, out of the blue.
“Just thought I’d let you know how proud I am of you and the job you’re doing with your family.”
One sentence. But it meant so much to me.
I might be 34 years old, but I still want to know that my parents are proud of me. That they believe in me. I’ve only got one parent left to do that, so his words carry a lot of weight.
It made me think about how I use my words with my own kids. Do I use those words to build them up? Or do I use those words in other ways?
I think, too often, I forget how powerful my words as a mom can be. I get so caught up in all the things I think they need to be doing, that I forget that my kids really just need me to believe in them, to be proud of them, to show them that I’m in their corner, always and always.
I think I have spent too much time directing and correcting them, instead of connecting with them.
I’m ready for a change. How about you?
If you’d like to make a change in the way you speak to your kids, you’re invited to join me for the brand new Encourage Your Kids Challenge!
What is the Encourage Your Kids Challenge + who is it for?
The EYK Challenge is for any mom who wants a solid foundation of practical ideas for connecting with her kids and speaking truth over them on a daily basis.
We will spend seven days together, praying for our kids and taking very simple, practical steps to intentionally build them up and encourage them. Each day will include a Scripture, a prayer, and an action step to help you strengthen your relationships with your kids.
Is there a cost for the challenge?
Nope! This challenge is totally free, and I hope you join us! Summer is the PERFECT time to give our kids a little extra attention, and spend a little more time investing in our relationships with them.
When does the challenge begin?
It all starts July 9th! You’ll get an email each day with a small action step for you to take – something simple but meaningful that you can do for your kids that day, along with a Scripture + prayer to encourage you as a mom.
Can I invite a friend?
Of course! Challenges are so much more fun when we can do them together. Simply share this blog post on Facebook, in a message, or through email, and your friends can sign up too!
