#259: Capturing Your Child’s Heart this Summer
Manage episode 420847616 series 3546384
It’s summertime and we cannot wait to help you make the most of your summer! Parents, this season is not made to survive- It's made for investment!
“Summer is a special time. It’s set apart and different. There is a bit of a break and a great chance for kids to be at home and with their parents. It’s needed in a lot of ways for your child’s heart.” - Suz
FIRST THINGS FIRST! Ask your kids what they want summer to hold- see what they want to do and do your best to make some of those things happen!
3 Ways to Invest in family this summer:
1. Speak more life than death
- Start with a yes (build a world of yes)
- Encourage, build up, invest in identity (You are a mighty man of God, so helpful, kind to sibling, smart, clever, talented).
- Speak forth what is not as if it is. Call them up to the actions you want
2. Invest in making memories
- Think of your happy childhood memories and build from them
- Ingredients for a memory: fun, laughter, activity, productivity, creativity, adventure
- Add water to summer fun
- Don’t be afraid to make a mess
- Be intentional
- Embrace the chaos
3. Choose family first
- Give family space each week to hang out with each other (slow down with activities and friend hang outs)
- See summer as a gift of time to invest in the relationships that might be a little broken
This is the only summer 2024 we get- let's make the most of it and invest in family this summer!
