3 Tips
for Caring Everyday
Parenting
Busyness can take over our lives and shove our values and beliefs into tiny spaces in our days and weeks. These tips will help you develop family times around God’s word: ff Take time each day to pray together as a family. Encourage your children to make up their own prayers, helping them realize they are just having a conversation with God. Take turns, so all family members— including parents—gain comfort in praying aloud. ff Instead of a bedtime story, retell one of your favorite Bible stories. Share why it has been a favorite of yours. As a fun activity make it into a skit and have your family act it out with props!
