Description

Looking for Biblical parenting advice? Intentional Parenting cards by veteran youth leaders Doug and Cathy Fields equip you to be an exceptional parent in a quick-fix world. Their biblically based “Action” parenting concepts and related “Practices” to use daily instill focus on growing as an intentional parent in your relationship with your child.

Parenting matters! In fact, parents are the single greatest influence in their children’s lives. That means your actions day by day, week by week, are being absorbed—soaked up like a sponge by your child. But parenting is difficult, isn’t it? (And we bet that single parents or parents of kids with special needs might day, “Difficult doesn’t cover it!”) We’ve got news for you—there are no quick fixes. We need to be intentional in parenting practices. That’s where these cards come in.

We all want our children to grow up to be healthy, independent adults. Leave the quick-fix mentality behind and grow in your relationship with your children through 10 biblically based “Action” parenting concepts, followed by specific, corresponding “Practices” for daily use. Use this tool and renew your mind with God’s parenting truths from scripture. Create healthy parenting habits by reviewing the actions and practices of Intentional Parenting weekly until they begin to stick.

How to use these cards:

• Read the entire set of cards in one setting.
• Choose one set of Action cards to focus on a week at a time.
• Review them each morning and each evening.
• Choose one Practice and apply it during each day.

Example Action/Practice:

• • You are a 24/7 Role Model: Intentional parents understand and thoughtfully consider the messages their lives are sending to their children. These parents will make mistakes, but they’re willing to hold up the mirror and learn how their choices and actions contribute to their kids’ choices and actions.
    • (sample scripture) “You yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching.” Titus 2:7 NLT
    • (sample action) Your children are going to duplicate parts of your character, your actions, and your faith. What is one area of your life where you’d be proud (or hesitant) to be copied?

This 43-card set is packed with months of practical, biblical parenting advice and application to help you stand out as an exceptional parent in a quick-fix world.
