Resource for parents - HomeWord.com
Georgette Steiger | Nov 9, 2009
Josh asked me to write the blog for this week, offering a review of a helpful resource for parents. One of the best on-line resources I’ve found for parents is Jim Burns’ HomeWord.com website. “HomeWord seeks to advance the work of God in the world by educating, equipping, and encouraging parents and churches to build God-honoring families from generation to generation.” I like it because it’s got quick-reference suggestions on an unlimited number of topics. You don’t have to read a whole book to get some good ideas.
Click on Articles and Tip Sheets to scroll through hundreds of one-page topics like “5 Reasons Why Your Kid Wants You to Set Boundaries For Them,” “A Smart Parent’s Job Description,” “5 Tips for Transforming Your Kids into Spiritual Champions,” “The ABC’s of Ending Homework Hassle,” “Sexting: A Parent’s Guide to Keeping Your Kids Safe, and “Top 10 Dangers Teens Face.” You can also search by topic and find results from the parent or student perspective.
Raising a middle school student is challenging work. And the results of godly parenting are not always evident right away. By being aware of their “world” and guarding our own words and actions, we lay a foundation for good communication. The HomeWord website is a great resource to that end. You can sign up for a helpful monthly newsletter or daily devotional to be delivered to you electronically to encourage your parenting. Jim Burns also has a 30-minute daily radio broadcast and short segments I’ve heard aired on WMBI.
