Grace and Repair in the Parenting Journey

WHAT IS IT?

This month’s resource is an exercise for parents to help them learn how to better navigate the relational “ruptures” that occur in family life. It gives parents prompts and questions that will help them reflect on how they react when life feels overwhelming, things are hard, and relationships are stressed. We always have a choice in how we handle things, and this tool gives some practical tips and ideas to help parents move to a healthy place as they seek to build strong relationships with their kids.

HOW TO USE IT

  • Download Grace and Repair in the Parenting Journey and post it on your website.
  • Email parents a copy of the resource and encourage them to set aside some time to read it and pray through how they can use some of the principles in their home.
  • Print copies of the resource for parents to grab at church.
  • Share a copy of the resource with your ministry team and discuss it together.
