EVERY CHILD NEEDS POSITIVE LABELS DAILY!!!

Positive or negative labels shape a child’s present life and often their adult life. When parents and adults give a child POSITIVE LABELS like--confident, motivated, hard-working, determined, kind--they often live up to those labels. NEVER be insincere and EVERY DAY give a child POSITIVE LABELS!

FAMILY MEALS TOGETHER MAKE A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE!!!

FAMILY MEALS TOGETHER AT THE TABLE make a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE!!! When a child is struggling behaviorally or academically, family meals are often not eaten together and that causes a child to feel neglected and insecure in all aspects of life. As often as possible, FAMILIES NEED TO EAT MEALS TOGETHER AT THE TABLE for AMAZING RESULTS! The meals together are to be relaxing, enjoyable experiences for every family member.

Love Is Demonstrated Through Time Together!

A great synonym for LOVE is TIME! When a parent spends time with a child that creates a feeling of true importance and special value.  Both QUALITY and QUANTITY of time is what truly matters, and it often takes scheduling to make that happen. FOCUSED TIME together helps a child know their parent truly cares and loves them! TIME TOGETHER is also essential in marriage!!!

Physical Affection for a Child is Essential!

Physical affection and verbal expressions of love are 2 of the most priceless gifts a parent can give a child. A lack of physical touch may create a real insecurity in a child that can last a lifetime. Hence, be intentional daily with physical love for a child!

SPEAK LOW AND SLOW WITH OTHERS!

Tone of voice and body language make an immense difference in determining if a marriage is happy or unhappy. Over 90% of a message is conveyed through tone of voice and body language. Words are important (10%) but never underestimate the impact of tone of voice and body language on communication. A MAJOR GOAL IS TO SPEAK JUST ABOVE A WHISPER WHEN SHARING SENSITIVE OR IMPORTANT INFORMATION WITH A SPOUSE OR ANYONE!!!

A Critical Need for a Child Is Focused Attention!!!

One of the most significant responsibilities a parent has it to instill trust, respect, and confidence in a child’s heart through positive focused attention. Being physically present with a child is NOT focused attention.

Focused attention means looking intently into a child’s eyes, daily dialoguing with a child, or doing an activity with a child.

More Effective Habits to Embrace in Parenting I-II

Hello Christian Friend,

Please enjoy my Focus on the Family 2-Part Interview entitled, More Effective Habits to Embrace in Parenting I-II, that was broadcast nationally on November 14-15. I am grateful to have the opportunity to share these Focus on the Family interviews at the links below.

More Effective Habits to Embrace in Parenting I

More Effective Habits to Embrace in Parenting II

A mother and father usually have conflicting parenting styles because they were not raised in the same manner. Opposing views often creates tension as parents search for the best approach in leading and nurturing their child. These two interviews regarding More Effective Habits to Embrace in Parenting will help parents be united in guiding their child to become a motivated, confident, and responsible Godly person.

I am an LCMS pastor and former Concordia Theological Seminary Professor for nearly 25 years where I taught pastoral counseling classes including Premarital Counseling, Marriage Counseling, Family Counseling, Crisis Counseling, and Pastor as Counselor. I have a counseling practice at Cornerstone Lutheran Church, Carmel, Indiana.
