Your Child's Roadmap for Navigating BIG Emotions
Lots of children (and some of us parents also) struggle with navigating BIG emotions such as feeling angry, sad, anxious, and more.
God gave us emotions in all kinds of sizes to act as signals for our hearts. So we don't want our children to stuff those BIG emotions down nor do we want them to just let those emotions fly like crazy.
Instead, we need to teach our children how to listen for and identify emotions early on so they can pause, understand what that emotion is trying to tell them, and make a plan for moving forward. This is key to raising emotionally informed and healthy children who love Jesus and hear His voice in their lives.

Helping Your Child with Anger and Other Big Emotions
Every family needs a plan for managing emotions. Children need to know how to recognize, understand, manage, and relate to emotions. Parents need to be able to teach this to their children and raise them in an emotionally informed and healthy manner while also responding to their children's emotions with grace, love, gentleness, and firmness.
Anger is one of the most challenging emotions to manage and one of the most common ones with which children struggle.
Yet, Scripture tells us that "One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and one who rules his/her spirit, than one who captures a city." in Proverbs 16:32.
Managing emotions is challenging but a challenge well worth accepting. But to win that battle, we must parent our children with their hearts in mind.

Teaching Your Kids to Honor Others
Family life can be a place of joy, peace, and connection. It can also be a place self-centeredness, frustration, and loneliness. What changes the dynamics in family life in the right direction is Honor.
The Bible defines Honor as:
* Treating others as special
* Doing more than expected
* Having a good attitude
Scripture tells us in Romans 12:10 to "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." Honor is at the heart of the Gospel. It places others ahead of ourselves. It gets the focus off of us and onto others. When we honor others, we are loving them the way Jesus loves by treating them as special, doing more than what they expect, and doing it all with a good attitude.
When we teach our kids to honor, we teach them to live like Jesus.
