For the Parents
We like our children to be inspired, encouraged and, let’s face it, if it helps them, it helps us! Your children are important to us and they are SUPER important to God. We have put together this webpage so your children know that they are important, loved and that we have taken the time to invest in them!
They are VALUABLE!
We want them to feel: loved, joyful, inspired, excited, and equipped spiritually.
Life is unpredictable, but God is sure and secure, we can always rely on Him.
We want to encourage our families to bring God into the conversations that we are having with our children. How are we feeling? What are we thinking? Can we share what we are thinking with Mum & Dad? We want our children to feel safe when they share with us. So how do we do that? We listen and don’t react, but thoughtfully process with the Holy Spirit how we can offer wise counsel to them. Maybe they just need us to listen… God sees us and our children, He wants us to share with Him and feel safe with Him.
Here is a letter that we put together that you can download that is very practical about how you can help your kids.
