God Fearing Kids and the Parents Who Raise Them: A Christian parenting podcast
You're probably checking out this podcast because you are a Christ-follower and you have kids… and you intuitively know that you’ve got a massive job on your hands. But you also see your role as a Christian parent as one of the most amazing privileges given to human beings. You get to fashion human beings into God-saturated, Christ-following, Kingdom-building individuals who make a difference in eternity… and all to the glory and praise of their Creator. And that ain't an easy job. We're here to help. Episodes are conversations about Christian parenting between retired Pastor, Carey Green and his wife of over 33 years, Mindi. They'll discuss what the Bible reveals about raising your children in a way that honors God and connects the child of your heart to the child of God. https://GodFearingKids.com

049: BEST OF: Help your child develop healthy (and godly) social skills
FULL SHOW NOTES & RESOURCES: https://GodFearingKids.com/027
CONTACT: 📩 feedback@GodFearingKids.com
ON THIS EPISODE:
Our definition of a child being “socially awkward” is one that may cause them to struggle with interacting with others in a way that reflects the love that Jesus taught. This may manifest in their behavior and be seen in their reluctance to engage with others, or in their lack of understanding of social norms.
It could also be seen in their difficulty in forming meaningful relationships with their peers, or in their discomfort when placed in social situations.
In each case, it is important to remember that Jesus requires us to love one another, and for children to be able to interact with others in a way that reflects this love.
It’s YOUR job as a parent to teach them in this area.

It doesn't matter who you are, you either have experience trying to navigate the empty nest and the realationships with your adult kids, or you've heard others give their advice (often jaded) about how to go about doing so. We think the best advice we can get is from the scriptures - and it has a lot to say about this subject.

046: Teach your kids to have meaningful quiet times with the LORD
FULL SHOW NOTES & RESOURCES: https://MorningMindsetMedia.com/GFK046
ON THIS EPISODE:
If you want your kids to CRASH AND BURN when they become adults, don't do anything to teach them how to read, understand, and apply God's word to their own lives. Don't start young. Don't set a good example of it yourself. And DON'T (by all means) require it of them as part of their daily personal disciplines.
All sarcasm aside... this episode is powerfully important. Learn how to teach your kids (from an early age) to have a meaningful daily quiet time with the LORD.

ON THIS EPISODE:
When Mindi and I first married and began having kids, she suggested that we have "dates" with them. This was a TOTALL foreign concept to me, but I'm glad I listened to her suggestion. To this day dates with our kids continue to be one of the best ways to stay connected to their hearts - and it's TONS of fun, too.
