EMPOWERING YOUR TEEN TO SAY NO (CONTROLLING SCHEDULES)

1/17/2019

Do you ever feel like your family is too busy with too much stuff?  Do appointments, practices, games, recitals, meetings and other commitments seem to steal any quality time you COULD have to spend with each other?  If so, you're like MANY families in our busy culture!  It can totally make life seem chaotic and cause you to feel more connected to busyness rather than connected to your family!  But is there any way to remedy this?  Is there any way to keep our sanity and our family in tact?  Not unless we can learn the importance of saying "NO" to some things and empowering our teens to do the same.

While we all seem to live with the new phobia, “FOMO”, the fear of missing out, it is time for us as parents to step back and realize we might be missing out on what matters most.
This month’s Online Parenting Class is all about “Empowering Your Teen to Say No to Controlling Schedules.”
As you process this video as parents and maybe even sit down and watch it as a family, remember a few key things:
– We can’t do everything, but what we can do needs to matter for eternity.
– If we teach our tween/teen to say “No” to busyness, we teach them to learn to say “No” more easily to other things in the future.
– Saying “No” now will open opportunities to saying “Yes” to other things in the future you might have never known.
My heart and prayer is to help you and your family to “Seek First His Kingdom” and that means with your schedule too!
