When our child gets teased, battered, and bullied by another child’s hurtful words, we parents are inclined to step in and fix it by saying things like, “Oh honey, that’s not true.” Or, “You don’t deserve that.” Or maybe we’ll criticize the aggressor (especially if that aggressor is an older sibling). Quick fix responses like this may settle things down in the short-term, but keep parents in the role of managing all the difficult emotions instead of empowering kids.

This article outlines how to equip kids to filter what others say and to respond wisely instead of covering hurt feelings with anger. We’ve coached many parents on how to equip their kids with wisdom to assess the value of what others say to them. You too can help your children learn to place the things others say to them in one of three categories: Trash, Truth and Treasure.

I want to tell you how to share hope (but not germs) this year. Huh? Let me explain. I had to sneeze recently—in a restaurant. Now, do you remember back in 2019 when you would sneeze around folks and someone would say, “Bless you”? Now, it’s like—HIDE YOUR KIDS! I tried to stop it, like making the ugly faces, holding my breath, and shaking my head, but there was no stopping it. Then it happened. And it wasn’t just one sneeze, but multiple sneezes that sounded like a small freight train passing through the restaurant. When my sneeze marathon finally ended, I did what everyone does at that point … I raised my hand and in a very loud voice said, “It’s just sinuses!”

Why am I telling you this? Well for one, it makes me feel better writing about it, and two, it’s because times are a little different right now, aren’t they? Who could have known that COVID-19, social distancing, and the CDC would be the most frequently used words of 2020? And because of everything going on, there are people out there today who have lost hope.

But as followers of Jesus, we are hope dealers! Our circumstances may change, but our hope doesn’t. We have the answer, and that answer is Jesus Christ!

I’m sure most of us would welcome a bit more romance and adventure. We can relate to the desire for self-confidence, a sense of purpose, identity, and meaning in life. But a romanticized view of the journey can cause us to look for identity or fulfillment in the wrong places, forgetting the good we already have right in front of us.

Our goal is to make it easy for you to remember what’s important.
