Parenting Quotes

Quotes About Parents

  • Raising kids with strong character requires doing less FOR them and teaching them to do more for themselves.



==================
Parenting with Purpose (5-part Series)

Your Advantage When Times are Tough | MWM
#Attitude Is The Difference Maker = This week, John Maxwell will share 5 important things to teach your children when parenting with purpose. Parenting with purpose is about leading your children correctly without overcorrecting them. The first focus is attitude. It is important to stress the importance of a good attitude with your children. People with good attitudes—who have a positive attitude during negative times—will do better in life. Life is tough! People who want to succeed should have an attitude of tenacity to overcome life’s difficulties!

#Responsible Kids Become Mature Adults | MWM
Take Ownership = The second way to parent with purpose is to teach responsibility. We all need to learn to take ownership of our mistakes or actions and not place blame on others. Instead of saying “sorry,” say “I’m sorry.” Teach your children to be responsible and take ownership. When we teach responsibility to our children, it leads to their development into mature adults. 


People Make Your Potential Possible | MWM
Connect With People = The third way to parent with purpose is to focus on relationships and the ability to get along with people. It is important to be good at connecting and relating to other people because the world is composed of people. This ability determines how much others like you and help you. Teach your children how to connect and relate with other people. Relationships are a key to success. 


The One Thing That Determines Everything Else | MWM
Discover Your Strengths = You can parent with purpose by helping your child with their self-image. Self-image determines the friends someone hangs around with and even who they marry. The way a person sees others is influenced by how they see themselves. Having a low self-image can hold a person back because they can’t see themselves accomplishing a difficult, worthwhile goal. Help your kids see themselves well, and discover their own strengths. When they pursue those strengths to achieve and experience their own wins, it will build up their self-image.
#Self-image

Train Them Up in the Way They Should Go | MWM
Be God-Centered = You can parent with purpose by teaching your children faith. Show your children how to have a good relationship with God and to know and communicate with Him. As parents we have to be an example of this. Share with your children what God is doing in your life and how he leads you. Be God centered so that your children can see that every good and perfect gift comes from God.

Attitude Is The Difference Maker = By parenting with a purpose, you can be the parent that looks at your children and asks how to invest in them correctly without overcorrecting them and majoring on the minor things in life. Focusing on attitude. A good attitude leads to a better life. It is important to have a positive attitude during difficult times. If you are going to succeed in life, you need to have the attitude of tenacity to overcome the difficulties that everyone experiences. Attitude is the difference maker.


Always Take Responsibility = It is important for all people to have a sense of responsibility or to take ownership of their life. You will never do well in life until you take responsibility for your life—for your choices, for who you are, for what you do, for your actions. Take responsibility for the things that happen to you.


https://youtu.be/kBBEqjTwdwM
Connect, Be Relatable = The ability to get along with people and relate to them is a key part in being successful. By learning to connect with people and relate with people your life will be able to reach its full potential. The world is full of people—the way you connect to them will determine how well they like you, and how much they are willing to help you. Connect, and be relatable.

Your Self-Image Determines Your Behavior = You need to allow yourself to see yourself well. If you see yourself as a 5 out 10, then who you surround yourself with will also be in that category, and you won't go after the 8's, 9's, and 10's. Your self-image determines who you are around, even who you marry. Your behavior is not based on how you see other people, how you see a job, or how you see others—it's entirely based on how you see yourself. 


https://youtu.be/Z84cuvW3UV4
Have Faith = It is important for us to have a good relationship with God and to know Him, to be able to communicate with Him, and have a sense of Him working and living in our lives. We have to be that example. He is the source. Every good and perfect gift comes from Him.
