This was a sessions that I attended while at the conference! Again it is based off my notes so sorry if it is all over the place!
Through this session I learned that Gods way works! The speaker gave us six points:
1. Let go of the expectations. Everyone is different, we need people who don't think like everyone else. Allow your kids and husband to be who they are. We don't get to control other peoples choices. Now is the time to teach your children. You cannot control the uncontrollable, but you can control how you deal with it!
2. Raise your children in the House of God!
3. Live a principled life. Be true to yourself. Your children need to know where to turn. Don't be fake. Kids will know if you are faking. Just do your part. Don't impose your fears upon your children. Cannot control your kids. Don't parent on your feelings! Always ask yourself why you want them to do what you want them to do and explain that to them!
4. Gratitude= Thankfulness live your life this way!
5. Live in the moment. With all the chaos is the glory! (this point stuck out most to me!)
6. Find the humor in life. All about perspective.
Anger is usually rooted in fear. This is why we should not parent based on our feelings. We need to have a purpose/goal in mind for our children, but expected that they may take another road. Encourage and guide them, but remember they are individuals.
