The role of a parent is not an easy task but with God’s grace and mercy, you can do it. You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength. [Philippians 4:13].
Here are 7 Parenting Tips that I have learnt along the way in my 5 years of being a mother.
Parent Tip #1 - Speak Positive words
✨Speak life to them as your words have power. There is life and death in the power of the tongue. E.g. Say daily to them that they are loved and say what you love about them.
Parent Tip # 2- Learn to be patient
✨ Learn to be patient as children don't like to be rushed. Patience goes a long way.
Parent Tip #3 - Be mindful of your actions
✨ Be mindful of your actions- children are watching what you say and do. Be a good role model for them.
Parent Tip #4- Give your undivided attention
✨Put away the phone or other distractions and show children that you are listening to them when they speak. They appreciate it once they have our complete attention.
Parent Tip #5- Apologize when you're wrong
✨ Say you're sorry when you have made a mistake or accused them of something they never did. They will also follow your pattern and be quick to admit their faults.
Parent Tip #6 - Pray daily for your children
✨ Pray Daily for your children- pray for every area of their lives- their health, their interactions, God's protection etc.
Parent Tip #7 - Practice self control
✨ Practice self control- This is a fruit of the spirit that the Holy Spirit has to help you with. It is best for us to be slow to anger as children will believe we are angry with them and internalize it the wrong way.
In a nutshell, you can have a better relationship with your children by practicing these 7 parenting tips which are: speaking positive words, being patient, being mindful of your actions, giving your undivided attention ,apologizing when you're wrong , praying daily and practicing self control. By God's grace and mercy, you shall overcome.
