Mommy tips- Page 2  Week 6:
    Listen to your kids. Let them know that you are interested in what they are feeling. Be sure not to ridicule them for their concerns. (Even if it seems silly to you, it can be BIG to them) You want your kids to be able to open up to you, about ANYTHING! When they are ready to talk, (from my experience) it's usually not the most convenient time. That is the time to decide what is more important- your kids, or their bedtime,  or the conclusion to the cliffhanger you started watching last week?
It means a lot to them to have your undivided attention when they need to talk. Sometimes all they need is a little comfort or reassurance. Pray with them for every little need. Show them scripture relevant to what you are talking about.  They will see the Lord at work in their life as they grow.
    Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
 

   

 Week 7- Do not ridicule your children.  What you might think is lighthearted humor could be taken seriously by a child. Even if they laugh at the time, some things stay with them causing self-image problems.  She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness.
