Ok, that sounds dumb, but hear me out.
Your kids are probably not listening when they’re angry, or annoyed, or hungry. I know mine definitely aren’t. 😝 So why try to force a discipleship moment on them right then? When we do that, we make impossible expectations for ourselves and them.
Instead, pass your child a snack, then open up the Bible.
Snuggle into bed beside them, then invite them into conversation and prayer.
Listen to worship music on the way home from school instead of grilling them.
Wait until after the tantrum is over to talk about the gospel.
Discipleship does NOT have to look a certain way. If anyone made you feel that way (even if they had the best of intentions by sharing what’s working for them), scrub that thought.
Your kids are unique, and they need you to be creative in how you disciple them. Glean ideas from others, but only use what actually works for your family.
Let’s talk to them when they’re listening, not when we think they should be listening!
