 15 Phrases that Build Your Child Up With Love
Like most people, children like to receive/hear positive feedback from those they love. As parents it's important to build our children with love. This world is full of things that come to tear them down, steal their confidence and joy in who God created them to be. We love our children and it's part of our responsibility to build them up! Speak to your children, speak over your children and as you do you will be delighted to see how they grow carrying the words of love you have spoken to them and over them down through the years. 

You precious mom are teaching your children things right now that will stick with them forever and even pass down to future generations to come. Don't dismiss how critical it is to speak life, words of hope and compassion to your children. Trust me, they are listening, they will remember and your words do matter. In your tongue there is power! Choose to speak LIFE. Words that edify and build up, rather than tearing down. 


Phrases that Help to Build Your Children Up


1. I love you!
2. You can do ALL things through Christ 
3. You are special and unique
4. God loves you so much
5. You are never alone, God is with you. 
6. It's OK for you to feel angry, let's talk about it. 
7. You are so beautiful/handsome
8. I'm proud of you
9. I am here for you if you need to talk 
10. I am always here for you when you need me
11. Nothing could ever stop me from loving you 
12. You are so smart!
13. Keep working toward your goal(s)
14. Cast all your cares on God, he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7)
15. There is goodness in you.



Be mindful when it comes to your words. I know that when dealing with children, you will sometimes find yourself frustrated and upset. However, even within those moments we must learn to be mindful of the words we speak out of our mouths. Your words have the ability to stick with some for a lifetime! That's something to think about right there. Choose to speak words that are life giving, positive and not hurtful. Though they are small, they are human with real thoughts and emotions. I believe we must be mindful of this. Sure, we are here to guide them, teach them, correct them but don't forget to show them love, even with your words.

Proverbs 15: 1 “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but hard words stir up anger.”

Proverbs 15:4 “Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.”

Proverbs 18:4 “A person’s words can be life-giving water; words of true wisdom are as refreshing as a bubbling brook.”

Proverbs 20:15 “Wise speech is rarer and more valuable than gold and rubies.”

Worried About Raising Children in THIS World?

With everything happening in the world these days it's easy to find yourself being worried about raising your children and them growing up in a world filled with so much hatred, violence and an evident lack of genuine love. The way we view the world now, as mothers, is probably much different than we have ever viewed the world around us.  Did anyone else view the world and things differently after becoming a mother? Now, instead of just you to think about you have a whole other life form (or in some cases multiple ones) to think about! I mean that's a tall order, you are responsible for another life! As if being responsible for your own wasn't difficult enough. You now have a new generation of other people to think about and that's deep. Then add on everything we have seen and experienced in the last year and the last few days going into the new year and well, my heart just crushes a  bit thinking about the future for our little ones. BUT.... When I cast my human flesh

Simple Strategies for Teaching Children to Manage Anger

Can we talk for just a moment about anger... It's on my heart and I'd like to have a real discussion about it. Not just anger in us as parents, but anger in our children. You see, I've come to realize that many adults are not aware of how to manage their anger, simply because they were never really taught how to when they were younger.  And so we have to vicious cycle of under managed and or mismanaged angry behaviors that just continue to repeat in us as adults and we pass it on to our children, and they pass it to their children and so on and so on.  Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. But many kids struggle to understand the difference between angry feelings and aggressive behavior. Frustration and anger can quickly turn into defiance, disrespect, aggression, and temper tantrums when kids don't know how to deal with their emotions. Often times when children are younger and they express a feeling of anger, we as the parent get upset ourselves at the little child  and
