WEEK FOUR

Self-control is choosing to do what you
should even when you don't want to.

Bible Story

Choose Your Words Carefully

Proverbs 12:18

Think before you speak.

"God’s power has given us everything we need to lead a godly life."

2 Peter 1:3a, NIrV

ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

Start your kid’s day off with encouragement by giving them permission to brag about something they accomplished lately—big or small.
 

Drive Time

While on the go, ask your kid: "What’s something that’s made you laugh out loud recently?" (Make sure you share too.)

Meal Time

At a meal this week, ask each other: "What is a time when the words you said helped someone or made them feel better? What is a time when the words you said made someone feel bad?"
 

Bed Time

You may want to use this time to apologize to your child for a time you didn’t think before you spoke, and maybe said something harmful. Also, ask God to help you both use your words wisely.
