Giving Our Children Encouragement......

Today was a little different than yesterday, and it's left me on my knees this evening. I'm grateful for today's as much as I am yesterday's. And tomorrow is a new clean slate. Filled with the Lord's faithful, and loving grace.
I used to have a print of these 101 ways to praise your child. I kept it on the refrigerator. I'm going to print this list out again. It is a good reminder to me. For I want to train my children positively. Encouraging them in the way that is filled with building up. I thought I would share.

Thursday, January 4, 2007 - Giving Praise
Posted by ktneis
My kids like praise too but as they get older the way we give it changes. Now they want time with us and to be approved of. They like the funny humer I give them when they are not doing their school work as they should. It gets them back on track. I think the praise list is great and should be used often as it has brought us great fruits. Sometimes I need to hear a few of those on the list too.
