I came across this blog post today by Craig Jutila as I was doing some research on some Saturday night curriculum for SHiNe Time. It is about how to be an emotionally healthy parent, which is relevant to us all as parents and relevant to our church-wide focus on transformation and health. I particularly liked the question about extreme parenting strategies, the point about being aware of our emotions without acting on them (this one can be pretty hard for me sometimes), and the challenge for us to be present with our kids by setting down our hand-held devices when we are with our family.

How To Be An Emotionally Healthy Parent

I hope you are all having an amazing summer! Hope to see you around here this weekend!

Blessings 🙂
