SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (OFFENSIVE PARENTING - 1)
How many of you Parents feel like you spend most of your time playing “DEFENSE” with your Kids and it seems like you’re always REACTING to your Child’s Behavior? (Well…) What if we told you that you could CHANGE THE GAME and equip yourself to be always be a Step Ahead… and rather than REACTING… you’re actually ANTICIPATING what you will need to help your kids be GREAT in what appears to be a NOT SO GREAT world? Sounds like a pretty fantastic plan… Right? If that’s YOU… then do everything it takes to not miss this Incredible New Series at COC… OFFENSIVE PARENTING! Let’s consider together GOD’S WAY to PARENTING!
Sunday Snapshot… (Wk1) LEARNING TO SWIM
OFFENSIVE PARENTING is really about PREPARING not PROTECTING! What are you doing right now that is PREPARING them with what they “NEED TO KNOW” before that “NEED” ever comes?
The One Question you must always ASK when Parenting... Are you RAISING a CHILD or are you PREPARING a FUTURE ADULT?
God’s Parenting Style is NOT about ISOLATION… it’s about INSULATION!
-You can't keep the STORMS from coming - but you can teach them to WEAR A COAT!
God’s Parenting Style is all about DEEP… and LEARNING!
-You gotta teach them to SWIM in the DEEP END OF THE POOL... because someday you won't be AT THE EDGE OF THE POOL anymore!
God’s Parenting Style is all about EXPOSING without OVERWHELMING!
-Take them to the EDGE... so they understand what might happen if they GO OVER IT!
OFFENSIVE PARENTING is all about the ability to assess the difference between NOW… and THEN! What are you doing NOW… to PREPARE THEM for THEN?
