When parents have something to say, usually, the first thing that happens is words jumping out of their mouths. Be slow to speak. Show your love by listening.
You may have more wisdom to share with your children, but there is a time for everything.

If you’re still running on empty and busyness is the rhythm of your day, it’s easy to want to rush through a conversation to get to the next thing.
I mean, think about it. Putting out fires is what you do best; always answering to the name of mom (dad).
You need to know the basics, so you can dish out the lesson.
And there is a time for that.
But in our world today, what our children need most is to be heard.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Be quick to listen!
Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. ~ James 1:19-20
With Spring break, the kids are going to be around more, and so must our ears. It’s important not to share as much as it is to care in silence.
There needs to be more of a reserve from parents to listen to what their children are saying and expressing.
Unfortunately, our tweens and teens, and it’s getting younger, are in dire straits of needing attention.
So they are in search of who will listen first. And that leads to social media.
However, you know what social media is doing to kids.
This is a battle that must be stopped at home. And it starts with you.
- Ask questions that build upon their responses.
- Always listen to their full response.
- Acknowledge their feelings.
This is the simple formula to presence.
What our kids are wanting so badly is to be seen and heard.
But they aren’t getting it.
Show your love by listening.
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
