Do you want to raise kids who stand by their principles?
Growing up, my parents instilled in me the importance of honesty, kindness, and hard work. These values have been my compass throughout life. Now, as a parent, I aim to pass these same values onto my children. We regularly have family discussions about what matters most to us and how we can live by our values every day.
What core values do you want to pass on to your kids? Let’s discuss how we can nurture these values in our homes.
What core values are most important in your family? Share your stories and let's help each other expand our vision!

"Normalize changing plans in response to changes in your capacity or the environment. Share changes widely and talk about why they’re being made. Regularly ask your team members what has or is changing in their plans."
🏡 It can be easy to forget that mission and disciple-making exist within our own households in the ordinary places of our life.
The old saying, “More is caught than taught,” is a highly relevant adage for raising Godly children. That idea can be terrifying (as our kids get a first-row seat to our brokenness), it can also be liberating!
💣 Even though we celebrate those seemingly extra-Holy families who do 45-minute family devotionals every night and memorize Romans 3 at dinner time, the rest of us normal parents are just trying to hold on and do our best not to powerbomb our kids at bedtime after they refuse to brush their teeth (for the eleventh time!).
Most of us are overwhelmed by trying to add ultra-sacred and heavy family practices, so remember this truth: something is better than nothing.
💆♀️ There are 3 super simple, super powerful ideas in the Toolkit to start small and integrate simple practices into your already-existing schedules.

This one just made my day.
Beautiful and heartwarming.
5 values I found in this short scene:
(1) Compassion: The children showed compassion by sharing their food with the hungry child, even though they had limited resources themselves.
(2) Empathy: They were able to understand the child's situation and feel empathy for his hunger.
(3) Generosity: The children were generous in giving away part of their own food, demonstrating a willingness to help others.
(3) Kindness: Their actions were kind and thoughtful, showing consideration for the well-being of their classmate.
(3) Solidarity: The children united in their support for the hungry child, demonstrating a sense of community and shared responsibility.

✨Who does not want to raise responsible kids?✨
So, here you go!
📌Start Early: Kids learn best when they're young, so build those values from the start.
📌Be their Role Model: Show them what responsibility looks like in everyday actions.
📌Set Clear Expectations: Let them know what you believe in and what you expect from them.
Make the consequences of not meeting expectations clear & follow through them.
For example, if in your home, children don't get to watch T.V. before the H.W. is not done, do not give into their requests or melt downs.
These small steps today would lead to responsible adults tomorrow.
Everything about your children starts with you!❤️
Let us grow together!
