Help! My Kid Isn't Healthy!

As On Purpose Parents, one of our greatest desires is to see our children grow up to be “life-long followers of Jesus.” That they would think and act like Him. In Luke 2:52, we see four main ways of how Jesus matured from childhood. We can use this Scripture as a model to raise healthy kids, as we prioritize their emotional, physical, spiritual, and social well-being.

Boosting Your Patience

Tips on how to keep your cool with your kids.Tip #1:  Identify your triggers, then tackle just one Awareness is key, what are some patterns and commonality in times where you tend to lose your cool? Pick just one of those areas, and think of ideas/strategies to help you react better in that one situation. be intentional - not just “wishing” and “hoping” to be more patience Example: feeling pressured to make a decision when distracted  Tip #2:  Set Age-appropriate expectations and make sure to communicate what they are Consider the difference between childishness and foolishness - it helps you pick and choose battles Communicate and get on same page as to expectations - often times we are enabling kids not to meet our unspoken expectations (asking kids to clean room example)  Tip #3:  Allow yourself to be human Maybe losing patience can help us realize some areas in our own lives we need to address Be kind to yourself when you mess up, this helps you extend kindness to others Learn to apologize to your kids All this is a great model for kids, and creates a culture of patience and graciousness within the family.  Connect with Us…●     Text PARENTS to 83000●     Email Parents@saddleback.com●     Instagram @SaddlebackParents●     Website OnPurposeParents.com

Boosting Your Ability to Connect with Your Kids

Tips on how to connect with your kids even though you’re all so different!Tip #1:  BE CURIOUS The best mindset for connection is one of wanting to discover who your kids are (vs. assuming we know everything or putting them into set mold) Practical Action: at least once a day try to ask an open ended question  Tip #2:  BE PRESENT Parents tend to multi-task; this extends to how we connect with our kids and hinders connection Practical Action: engage in the connecting power pose - where you get down and position yourself eye level with your kid.  Tip #3:  BE INVITING Parents are pros at saying no. also say no when kids ask to help or be part of what we are doing but we want to create a culture of being a team and doing things together. if you wait to let them help you when they're old enough to be fully competent, they may no longer be interested.  Allow kids to help you creates a sweet bond and worth the sacrifice of a few more minutes on the task Practical Action: invite your kids - do you want to help? (different from chores) Connect with Us…●     Text PARENTS to 83000●     Email Parents@saddleback.com●     Instagram @SaddlebackParents●     Website OnPurposeParents.com

Boosting the Spark in Your Marriage

Parents, are you in need of some tips on how to help your marriage win in the midst of the busy life of parenting?Even the best couples sometimes get stuck in the necessary routines of parenting. Here are some of the experts' tips on boosting the spark in a marriage... even your busy relationship!Tip #1: Adjust the bar! The reality is, marriages change when you have kids, and some of your expectations probably should, too! EXAMPLE: I have a few friends who have chosen not to have children and the primary reason was they evaluated what their life would look like…. how things would change.. and decided they didn’t want to make those adjustments. Remember…. different doesn’t have to be worse…different can be better! Tip #2: Do Small Things Often over Grand Gestures Sometimes we quit before we begin because we think marriage has to look like before kids in order for there to be spark (more flexible, bigger) But it’s the little things done consistently - Gottman’s small actions practiced daily. ““Successful long-term relationships are created through small words, small gestures, and small acts.”  Make small emotional deposits every day Tip #3: Practice the Art of Contentment. Refuse to compare…comparing always ruins contentment. Don’t compare what your marriage used to be like…. what your spouse used to be like! Don’t compare how you are navigating having kids with how you think others are. Tip #4: Repel Resentment by Being a Gardner for Gratitude A big temptation with parents is scorekeeping. Who is doing more? feel unappreciated, unsupported.  This leads to resentment and criticism, which is poison ivy. A big way to fight against this is to garden for gratitude. don’t just wait for gratitude to come “naturally” - you have to seek it out and cultivate it, look for it.  What we focus on is what grows.  Gottman’s “catch your partner doing something right” Tip #5: Refuse to Make Your Entire World Revolve Around Your Children Force yourself to be selfish once in a while early on…. or else it will be tough later. Remember…you are a parent, not a “Karent”…. your kids can’t dictate everything. Tip #6: Prioritize Date nights - and Don’t Feel Bad About It!Find ways to have date nights or “times” it can be simple, maybe just once a month that’s designated as purposeful date. it WILL take effort - but it's important.But the bigger point here is don’t feel guilty about it! It’s actually a tremendously healthy thing to model for your kids - investing in marriage and relationships, that world doesn’t just revolve around them. And strong marriages = strong families.
