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

How can words make things better?

"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? What made it so funny to you?" (Make sure you share too.)

Meal Time

At a meal this week, ask: "What is something someone said to you—either verbally or written—that meant a lot to you? What is something you’ve said or wrote to someone else that helped them?"
 

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 will both use your words wisely.
