    #754: Letting Go

    Do you remember learning to ride a bike? For kids, it’s a BIG deal. But learning to ride a bike takes time—maybe even a few falls and scraped knees. Perhaps you remember holding onto your son’s bike as he pedaled down the sidewalk. But little by little, you carefully released your grip. At first, just for a second. Then, as your son developed confidence, you let go entirely. At that point, your son’s smile probably stretched from ear to ear. He’ll never forget that victorious moment—or the fa...

    #753: Seeking Wisdom

    Imagine this. At a garage sale, you wipe the dust off an old genie lamp. Smoke pours out, then poof! A genie stands in front of you. He says, “You freed me from the bottle—I grant you one wish.”You’re thrilled, but what will you ask for? A work promotion? A sports car? Tickets to the Superbowl? In 1 Kings chapter 3, King Solomon asked the Lord for wisdom and discernment. And God granted his desire.As a parent, make sure you also prioritize wisdom. You can do this by taking a few minutes each ...

    #752:Cleaning Up

    Did you ever make a mud pie? Maybe your son has. That’s where you mix water and dirt into a thick, gooey mixture. Then after slapping the mud into a hamburger-sized patty you decorate it with twigs and pebbles.Boys still like getting dirty in the backyard. But at some point, it’s time to clean up. As a parent, teach your son that there’s a time to be messy and dirty, but also a time to wash up and clean up. Be intentional in helping your son know how to bathe, brush his teeth, and comb his ha...

    #751: Expectations

    Do you have unreasonable expectations?As a parent, you love your son and want him to succeed at everything he does. You want him to earn the highest grades in class, score the most points at the game, and have the greatest artistic talent.But unreasonable expectations can cause frustration—for both you and your son.

    #750: Saying Sorry

    If you’re a mom or dad, you’ve probably lost your patience a time or two—or, more likely, dozens of times. That’s because training kids to get along with their siblings and behave appropriately takes lots of time and attention. It’s easy to grow frustrated at having to provide correction for the billionth time.Even though frustration is a natural human emotion, losing your temper is never right. If, in a moment of anger, you did something or said something that wasn’t God-honoring . . . apolo...

    #749: Smile

    Do you ever use the smiley emoji while texting? That emoji helped launch World Smile Day, which is celebrated the first Friday in October. On that day, people are encouraged to smile at people around them.Fortunately, you don’t need an official holiday to smile. It’s something you can do every day. Of course, life doesn’t always run smoothly. Health issues, work conflicts, and financial concerns may catch you off guard. Or perhaps your son discourages a smile from you because he doesn’t like ...

    #747: Lecturing or Listening

    What is more effective– lecturing, or listening? Cara decided that her son wouldn’t be allowed to have a TikTok account. Annoyed, he told her, “I’m the only kid in my class who doesn’t have one. Why don’t you let me have one?” Cara paused. “Well, why do you think I have this rule?” “Well,” her son said. “I’ve heard about the TikTok challenges that are dangerous or illegal. So I guess I understand that part.” Listening to her son’s points, instead of lecturing, led to a healthy discussion. Car...
