A bedtime for children is good for them as well as for their parents. Enforcing it though, means extra work for a while. Here are some suggestions for working with young children to make bedtimes work more effectively.

1)    Start the bedtime routine earlier so that it doesn’t all get crammed into the last few minutes. If bedtime is 8:00 pm then start the routine at 7:30 by getting on pajamas and completing a bathroom routine. Then enjoy some relaxed time with children, reading or playing or just talking together.

2)    At bedtime, tuck each child in individually. Use this time to continue to debrief about the day in preparation for a good night sleep and pleasant dreams. You may pray, sing, and hug your child. Different families do different things to make it fun and meaningful.

3)    Enforce quietness. A child may not feel tired so lying quietly is all you need to require. You may have to sit in the doorway or just outside the door to make sure the child doesn’t get up, turn the light on, or start playing.

4)    If a child gets up or calls out. Quickly, calmly, and firmly, get the child back in bed with as little dialogue as possible. One dad was surprised to find that the first night he had to take his three-year-old son back to bed over 20 times. After a few days, though, he saw tremendous improvement. His son realized that bedtime was nonnegotiable.

5)    Hang in there, be consistent, and invest in the self-discipline development of your child. You and your children will benefit from the work you put into the process.

Bedtimes are opportunities to build relationship, but there comes a point where building self-discipline takes priority. Young children are happier and more pleasant to work with once they’ve learned self-discipline in their lives. It’s work but it’s worth it in the end.

We need your help!  There are many specific ways you can help:

1.  For those 18 and over – please consider signing up for at least one shift of fireworks sales.  The most important times will be all day Friday-Sunday, July 2-4.  That is a very busy period.  A “shift” is usually 3 or more hours, but whatever you can do will help!

Hours of Operation:  10:00am – 9:00pm every day (help after 4:00pm is needed most)

2.  Buy your fireworks from us!  For some that means driving past five or more stands, but your support is greatly appreciated.  Also, encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same!

3.  Come by to say hi and bring some drinks and/or snacks.  The less that the youth ministry spends on items like food and drink, the greater amount of profit we make for our youth ministry’s budget.

4.  Come meet Steve Bolin!  He’ll be hanging out all week and will be ready to meet and get to know as many people as possible during the week.

5.  Students of the U.C. – WEDNESDAY is the day we absolutely need you to come out and support the cause.  Meet at the booth at 6:30 p.m. (have dinner first).  We are going to have 100′s of flyers to pass out to surrounding communities asking them to support us and it will include a discount as well.

6.  Students of the U.C. – Get dropped off or drive over for several hours anytime you want just to hang out with Chris and Steve.  We’ll have a canopy up for shade, drinks to stay cool, and plenty of games to play.  The more students who come, the more enjoyable the experience.

7.  Guys of the U.C. – Guys hang out night will be Wednesday night starting at 6:30 (community blitz).  Later we’ll watch a movie and be up til the wee hours of the morning hanging out.

If you have any questions, or would like to sign up for specific times you will be able to help out, please email Chris – chris@providencebiblechurch.org – or call him at 916-202-3741

The Stop Rule is simply this: When a child wants to be done with a teasing or tickling game, that child just says, “Stop” and the other child must stop the game. Even parents need to stop when a child doesn’t want to be teased anymore. In fact, a good way to teach this rule is for a parent to tickle a child and stop immediately when the child says, “Stop.”

Of course, to make this work, you as a parent need to be available to enforce the rule. When you hear one child say, “Stop,” watch and see if you’re needed to step in to enforce the rule.

One mom told us, “I thought this idea was too simple, but one day I was so frustrated, I decided to teach it to my children. They liked the idea…and it worked! Now it has become a regular part of our family life.”

The Stop Rule teaches children the value of their words. When someone is relentlessly teasing, your child will know that his or her personal boundaries are being violated and want to seek help. This is a helpful rule for creating boundaries in relationships between siblings or playmates and it teaches children adult solutions for solving their childhood problems.

For more on how to use rules to teach values to children, see the book Home Improvement, The Parenting Book You Can Read to Your Kids, by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN.

One solution is to teach them to add energy back into family life. We use the term “honor” to describe the process of thinking of others above yourself. If Jack seems to get people riled up each afternoon before dinner, set an appointment with him at 4:00 pm for several days in a row and ask him to look for three things he can do to add to family life. He may decorate the dinner table, encourage his brother, or prepare something nice for Dad’s arrival home.

If Jack continually antagonizes his sister, tell him that he needs to think of three nice things to do for her before he can go on with family life. Don’t tell him exactly what he needs to do. If you decide what Jack needs to do and tell him to do it, that’s obedience. When Jack chooses, that’s honor. Honor treats people as special and does more than what’s expected. Jack needs to learn how to add energy to family life instead of taking it away. Challenging children in this way helps them to think differently.

Teens need to learn honor because it will make them more successful in life. Hidden within honor are the secret ingredients that make people more productive in relationships. Teaching honor is worth the work, because honor changes people.

When children learn obedience, they learn to think about others. They learn to be a little less selfish. They learn to consider what other people want and how to please them. They learn to submit to authority.

Obedience involves learning to do what you’re asked even when you think you have a better way. The person who has learned obedience knows how to listen to an instruction, how to follow through without being watched, and how to check back when the job is done.

The children who learn obedience when they’re young will make better employees when they get older. Furthermore, they will be happier and enjoy life more.

We’re not talking about blind obedience here. We want our children to learn to evaluate instructions; but evaluating instructions is an advanced skill. First children must learn cooperation; otherwise they end up believing that every time they don’t like a request, they are justified to resist it. These children remain selfish and grow up to be whiners and complainers, not able to receive an instruction without an argument.

God knew what he was doing when he gave the instruction to children to “obey your parents.” He knew that learning obedience when they’re young would pay off greatly as they get older.
