It is changing my thinking....

I am reading this......

Grace Based Parenting: Set Your Family Free [Book]


My sister shauna is also. She rec. it over christmas and immediately ordered it. I meant to sit down yesterday and write what I have learned thus far but never got the chance. I guess she had the same idea so her is hers.

Matthew and I are just starting out on this adventure called parenting. I remember for kids, I would ask him how he would react in this situation or what he would do if this happened. We even talk now about how we want to parent ella. Kimmel talks about how every child has three driving needs. ( I already have a craft project- I plan on making for our home as a reminder) The three needs are a need for security, a need for significance, and a need for strength.

Security=love
significance=purpose
strength=hope

Our home....
a love that is secure
a purpose that is significant
and a hope that is strong.

That sums it up. I want our children to know that when they leave our home. There is no doubt that I love ella reese a ton but desiring to love her and actually loving her in such a way that she develops a secure love of her own are two different things. (kimmel)

Seeds family worship is a great site with some really great cds to help your children learn scripture. I love that they are themed. Ella and I are listening to seeds of purpose right now. The songs are great and I am even learning verses that I didn't know already. So thankful for this. My nephew sam sang 3 or 4 songs to me over break. He is only 5 and knows the whole cd. My sister shared that she has been able to remind them of the songs and verses in real life examples of things they have faced.

Totally tots a blog I follow has great resources that go along with seeds worship cds.

Go here Jenn and team do a great job with resources.
