One of the greatest gifts our kids can have is knowing who they are and what they stand for.  This world comes hard and fast, trying to tell our kids who they are or are not.   It’s no wonder our kids can struggle with confidence and self-worth at times. As moms, we have influence to speak life over them, build them up in truth, remind them of their identity, and teach them their worth. Check out this episode for 3 ways we can help our kids cultivate a strong and true self-identity today.   We'll discuss the importance of creating opportunities for them to explore their interests, how we can encourage them to find and use their voice, and why allowing them to fail is key to their self-discovery and personal growth.

With a new school year around the corner, today I share three ways we can help our children develop their friendship skills. So, whether your child is a social butterfly or more of a lone ranger, there are things we can do to encourage them to have strong and healthy friendships.  Friends enrich our lives.  They can help boost our children’s self-esteem and social skills.  Friendships can also help teach our kids how to communicate with others, practice controlling their emotions, resolving conflict, and apologizing.   All around the world, successful friendships depend on the same fundamental skills - and honing these skills requires experience, effort, practice and a whole lot of coaching and parenting from us.  Tune in today as we discuss three things we can do to help our children have and be great friends.

It's not necessarily that we want them to grow up to be the President or a CEO, but in order for them to have much of an impact on their world, they’re going to have to lead in some capacity. There’s a calling and a purpose on each of their lives, and in order to carry that out, it is going to require some level of leadership and influence.   We want to be intentional with our kids and encourage the character traits of someone who is a great leader - confident, kind, dreams big, and has the communication skills and resilience to follow those dreams through to completion.

It's not uncommon for parents to catch their kids in a lie - it’s actually a normal part of their development - and certainly not an indictment on our parenting.  Phew! Yet while that doesn’t mean that we should ignore it, what it does mean is that we can acknowledge that it’s normal, consider why our kids might feel the need to lie, and teach them why honesty is important. In this episode, we talk about some of the reasons why children lie, and I share 4 practical strategies we can implement to help raise honest kids.
