1:1 Parenting W/Alexandrea is happening in 23 hours
Morning check-in: stop disciplining from your mood.
Kingdom parents, let’s keep this conversation going. We’ve been talking about consistency, tiredness, boundaries, and what makes us fold. Now let’s talk about something that hits home A lot of us are not disciplining from a standard. We’re disciplining from a mood. When we feel rested, we explain calmly. When we feel overwhelmed, we yell. When we feel guilty, we let it slide. When we feel embarrassed, we overreact. When we feel tired, we don’t address it at all. And then our children don’t know what to expect from us. Honestly....that’s confusing. The same behavior gets ignored on Monday, yelled at on Wednesday, and punished heavy on Friday because we finally snapped. That’s inconsistency and not fair Our children need to know the boundary does not change just because our mood changed. Ask Yourself............................. Am I correcting this because it violates the standard, or because I’m irritated right now? That question will save you from a lot of unnecessary yelling. Discipline should not be driven by embarrassment, exhaustion, anger, or guilt. It should be driven by love, wisdom, correction, and leadership. Today, before you correct, pause and pray “Lord, help me respond from wisdom, not my mood.” Then correct the behavior without dumping your emotions on your child. Because we’re not just trying to raise obedient children. We’re trying to become steady parents. Question for today: Which mood affects your discipline the most? A. Anger B. Tiredness C. Guilt D. Embarrassment E. Overwhelm F. Fear
Yelling may get a reaction, but it doesn’t always produce growth.
We’ve been talking about discipline, boundaries, consistency, and being tired. Now let’s talk about yelling. A lot of us don’t yell because we want to hurt our children. We yell because we feel ignored.We yell because we’re overwhelmed.We yell because we asked nicely five times.We yell because we feel like nothing else works. If yelling is the only thing that gets movement, then we have trained the house to wait until we explode. This week, we’re not just asking, “How do I stop yelling?” We’re asking: What needs to change so yelling is no longer the alarm system in my home? Maybe it’s giving instructions once, then following through. Maybe it’s lowering the amount of warnings. Maybe it’s creating clear consequences. Maybe it’s pausing before responding. Maybe it’s addressing disrespect earlier instead of waiting until you snap. What usually happens right before you yell? A. You feel ignored B. You repeated yourself too many times C. The house is too loud D. Your child gets disrespectful E. You’re already overstimulated F. You waited too long to correct it G. You feel like yelling is the only thing that works Drop your letter below and if you need prayer on this topic pray with me : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_guYuMvvGg&t=187s
We are Back In The Room
I know it’s been a minute since I posted in here, but I see y’all. Especially all the new members who came in recently welcome.🧡🧡🧡 This space is not just another group to collect dust. This is for the parent who loves God, loves their child, but is tired of feeling like they’re always behind, always reacting, always trying to “get it together” and still feeling like they’re failing. You’re not a bad parent. But some of us are stuck in cycles we were never taught how to break. The yelling.The guilt.The inconsistency.The “I’m gonna do better tomorrow” and then tomorrow looks just like yesterday. Yeah. We’re talking about that here. This community is here to help you parent with more peace, more discipline, more clarity, and more God not perfection, not performance, not pretending. Now let’s talk What’s one parenting area you’re asking God to help you grow in right now? And if you’ve been quiet, this is your tap on the shoulder. Come back in the room. We got work to do.

Good afternoon, I’m new here! I’m a single mom so I’ve joined for the support and community, but also to grow as a Christian parent.
Morning check-in: Don’t negotiate with the boundary you already prayed for.
Kingdom parents, yesterday we talked about being tired and still needing to follow through. Then last night we talked about the pushback, the crying, the attitude, the begging, the guilt, the “you’re mean,” and all the little things that make us want to fold. So this morning lets keep it flowing Some of us are praying for peace in our homes, but then negotiating with the very boundaries that would help create it. We ask God for order, but we keep letting chaos talk us out of follow-through. We ask God for patience, but we keep avoiding correction until we explode. We ask God to help our children listen, but then we teach them that our words are flexible when they push hard enough.I’m saying this because our children need leadership they can trust. A boundary is not just something you say. A boundary is something you uphold. So today, before the day gets loud, decide on one boundary you are not negotiating. Not ten. One. Maybe it’s screen time.Maybe it’s bedtime.Maybe it’s tone of voice.Maybe it’s cleaning up.Maybe it’s homework.Maybe it’s respecting adults.Maybe it’s how siblings speak to each other. Pick one and ask God for the strength to follow through. Because the goal is not to control your child. The goal is to lead them with love, wisdom, and consistency. Lord, help me not fold out of guilt, tiredness, or frustration. Help me lead with peace and follow through with love.
