Check out my latest article, Greatness or Grasshoppers: Forming a Child's Self Image. https://wix.to/CqTVtdT When parents perceive their children as tenacious (instead of stubborn), persuasive (instead of argumentative), stimulating (but not exhausting), creative (not messy), they’re building their children’s self-image. Every incident has its positive angle and every character trait has a strength. It’s up to us to view our kids the way we want them to perceive themselves. #newblogpost #biblicalparenting #perspective

How we speak to children becomes their inner voice! We have the power to rewrite generations of negative scripts by changing the way we engage with children in times of emotional crisis.

Rethink the conversation. Every day, millions of parents worldwide ask their kids, 'How was school?' or 'What marks did you get?' But what if we shifted the focus? Imagine the impact of asking, 'What good deed did you do today?' Such a simple question has the power to transform mindsets, encouraging our children to value kindness and empathy as much as academic achievements. It's not just about raising smart kids; it's about nurturing compassionate, thoughtful individuals who are just as invested in the welfare of others as their own success. Let's start today. Ask your child what good they've done, and share the responses. Together, we can make a difference, one question at a time. Your thoughts? Share them below 👇
