Find a Mentor

A few years ago I was lucky enough to find an amazing “Mom group” with mentors that helped me tremendously as a parent. Finding a mom that’s a season ahead of you and doing things well is one of the best parenting resources. If you don’t have a mentor, ask yourself who you know is parenting their children with patience and leadership.

No one’s perfect, but who is raising their children in a healthy, spiritual direction? Text them, call them, ask them to lunch. It starts with you—don’t be intimidated. I’ve found that older women in my church feel so appreciated to be asked to coffee to get parenting advice.

Create Family Goals

A “family mission statement” can bring your family together as a team while teaching kids Biblical truths. When I wrote this goal poster (originally in 2016), I wanted it to address our current issues:

  • Preschool temper tantrums
  • Sharing with a baby sister
  • Cleaning up after ourselves
  • Using manners
  • Being respectful
  • Making my children feel loved and secure

Then I added the “Fruits of the Spirit” as a kind of rule chart for my kids to refer to. When catching a child not sharing or lying, I directed them to the family goals and asked them what Fruit of the Spirit they needed to work on. Instead of focusing on what they did wrong, it changed their focus to how they could make it right.
