To put it simply, raising kids in today’s world is not easy.
With the culture constantly changing and throwing us conflicting messages, it can feel like an uphill battle to instill values and principles in our children that will guide them through life’s challenges.
But this doesn’t mean that we need to fear. There are steps we can take to raise confident, self-reliant kids who can navigate the craziness of the world around them.
So, let’s find out how we can raise kids who are secure in God and themselves:
First mumma, you have to recognize that the culture we live in has indeed gone off the rails. From the media we consume to the messages our children receive in school, there’s no denying that the landscape has shifted drastically in recent years. What was once considered taboo is now celebrated, and what was once revered is often ridiculed.
As moms, it’s natural to feel a sense of anxiety about the influence of this culture on our children. We worry that they may fall for the harmful messages or peer pressure that goes against our values. But rather than living in a constant state of fear, we must empower ourselves with knowledge and wisdom to guide our children through these times.
Step one in this journey is to listen to the real expert — God.
In a world where Google and Pinterest often serve as our go-to sources for parenting advice, we must remember that God’s word is the ultimate truth. By grounding ourselves in His teachings and seeking His guidance, we can find clarity and direction in our parenting journey.
Step two is about recognizing that God’s word is absolute truth.
In a culture that promotes relativism, moral ambiguity, and “you do you boo”, it’s more important than ever to teach our children the difference between right and wrong based on biblical principles. By instilling a strong moral compass in our children, we give them with the tools they need to make wise decisions and resist the temptations of the world around them.
But raising confident, self-reliant kids isn’t about shielding them from negative influences. They also have to think critically and make informed choices. Encourage open dialogue with your children, where they feel comfortable discussing their thoughts, questions, and concerns. Teach them to discern truth from falsehood and to stand firm in their convictions, even in the face of a culture that tells them otherwise.
Step three is to seek support from Godly mentors who have been there.
Surround yourself with wise and experienced moms who can offer guidance, encouragement, and prayer support as you navigate the challenges of parenting in today’s culture. These mentors can provide invaluable resources based on their own experiences and walk with God, helping you to stay grounded and focused on what truly matters.
With the support of Godly mentors by your side, you can gain valuable perspective and wisdom that will strengthen your parenting journey. Whether it’s through one-on-one conversations, group discussions, or online communities, connecting with mom mentors who share your faith and values can make all the difference in raising resilient, God-fearing children.
