Imagine you go to work every day… And your boss says: “I’ll pay you at the end of the day.” So Monday comes… no check.Tuesday comes… no check.Wednesday… you get HALF of Monday’s pay.Thursday… nothing.Friday… still nothing. Then they tell you: “Don’t worry, it’s coming next week.” At some point… You’re either: 1. Staying, hoping they get it together OR 2. Leaving because you no longer trust them Why? Because their words don’t match their actions. Now let’s bring it home. This is what we do to our children. We say: “Do that again and I’m taking the tablet.” They do it again… -nothing happens. “We’re going to spend time together.” We get tired… -and don’t. “We’re a praying family.” We pray Monday… -but not Tuesday. We tell them: “Believe in yourself.” But when we’re upset… -we talk down to them. So now your child is learning “They don’t really mean what they say.” And then we wonder why • they don’t listen the first time • they test everything • they don’t take us seriously You’re not just dealing with disobedience…you’re dealing with broken trust. Because authority is not built on what you say… it’s built on what you consistently DO. So let’s make it make sense If your words don’t hold weight…why would your child move when you speak?

Whether your child has a diagnosis or not…your assignment does not change. It doesn’t matter if they don’t listen talk back hit scream ignore you or seem like they’re all over the place You still have one job. The Word says in Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way they should go…” It doesn’t say: “Train them if it’s easy.”“Train them if they listen the first time.”“Train them only if they don’t have challenges.” No. It says: TRAIN THEM. That means: You hold the line. You stay consistent. You don’t back down because it’s hard. You don’t give up because they’re different.... Because we don’t get to choose the assignment… But we are responsible for how we show up in it. ADHD is not an excuse to remove structure. It is a reason to be more intentional with it. So before we even talk strategies this week… We have to settle this in our mind “I am still called to train my child.” 🔥 Let’s get practical: Tell me ONE thing you’re doing at home right now that isn’t working. Just one. And I’ll help you figure out why. Give me a few hours to respond... it’s just me over here 😂 But I got you.

Yes🧡 out loud. Even if they look at you like you’ve lost your mind. Father God, I cover my child this morning in the name of Jesus. I pray that You guide their mind, their attitude, and their actions today. Remove any spirit of rebellion, disobedience, or confusion. Replace it with peace, respect, self-control, and wisdom. Let them be teachable. Let them be calm. Let them make good decisions even when I’m not around. Protect them, lead them, and keep them. And Lord, help me to parent them with patience, clarity, and authority today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
