RISE UP: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON EASTER

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Grab your hiking boots and pitch a tent. It’s time to summit through the story of Jesus—who rose from death and gave us everything we need for our journey. This month, we’re learning about how the miracle of Jesus’ resurrection strengthens us and changes our relationships in the best way. Everyone will have a chance to put these ideas in their backpack to carry with them always: Jesus overcame death. Jesus connects us to each other. Jesus gives encouragement. We are stronger with Jesus.

There are a lot of reasons your kid might be experiencing disappointment these days, and they need your help to build resilience. So here's what you can do. 1. Let them feel it. 2. Offer perspective by asking, "I know it hurts, but what can we learn from this?" 3. Share your stories of disappointment to help them see they're not alone. 4. Assure them they will be okay and that you're with them.

Have you ever said to your kid, "Great job!" or "Be careful"? Theses seemingly benign phrases end up being default, automated parent responses that actually might not add any real value for your kid. See THIS ARTICLE for other ways you can express your support of and interest in your kid's growth.
