This Sunday we are doing a pancake feed for a couple of reasons……

First, as a pre-thank you for all you will do for us at the Auction fundraiser. We hope the sight of all the kids working hard to feed the church will give you (your friends and family as well) a desire to come out and support them.

Second, to raise some money toward the cost of the trip. So bring your loose change and get ready to eat some of the best pancakes money can buy!!

The meal is free, but donations are greatly appreciated.

They will be flying off the griddle at 8:45 in the community center.

Parenting Tip: When Your Toddler Hits

info — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 23:46:34 +0000

Toddlers hit out of frustration, anger, or for mere entertainment. What should a parent do? Sometimes the solution is simply to distract your child with a different activity. But if the problem persists and you feel like discipline is necessary, we recommend that you take consistent, firm action. Keep in mind that a firm approach doesn’t require harshness.

Immediately set your child down on the floor, with a firm statement like, “Be gentle” and step back to avoid getting hit again. Don’t display anger but be deliberate and firm. Your child needs to learn that hitting doesn’t work. She can’t stay in your arms or on your lap. If she hits you will remove her from that place immediately.

But that’s not the end. The next thing your child does is come to you for a hug. This is the precursor to the Positive Conclusion you will use later. “Are you ready to get up. Come over and give me a hug. Show me what gentle is.” Allow the child to give a hug or stroke your arm with her hand in a gentle way. Praise her for her gentleness.

When you set your son down after hitting, he may have a temper tantrum. If you’re in a situation that allows, the best thing is to ignore him until he’s calmed down and then encourage him to come back for a reuniting time.

Immediate, consistent, temporary separation like this followed by a Positive Conclusion will discourage the hitting and replace it with something else. A careful balance is needed here between a firm approach and a loving relationship.

Children who can’t yet talk or communicate well, often get frustrated and act out with violence. Don’t just ignore it. While you’re teaching communication skills, also teach limits on hitting, biting, pushing, and other forms of physical meanness.

Parenting Tip: Parenting Insight You Can Use Now (competition)

info — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 03:02:00 +0000

Competition between siblings is often demonstrated by the statement, “That’s not fair” or “What about him?” Competition stems from comparison and often creates conflict in relationships between brothers and sisters.

Here’s an idea that will go a long way to reduce the comparison and competition between your children. Treat each child uniquely and don’t try to treat all your kids the same. Intentionally give them different privileges, assignments, and responsibilities. Avoid grouping the children by saying things like, “Kids, it’s time to eat” or “Boys, let’s get in the car.” Instead, use each child’s name and give separate instructions. “Bill, please wash your hands and come to dinner.” “Karen, come join us now for dinner?”

When children compare themselves to each other they say they want equality, but that’s not really true. What each child wants is to feel special. When you treat them uniquely, and focus on each child individually, you’ll be surprised how much comparison and competition are reduced in your family.

After all, God doesn’t treat us all the same. He treats us each uniquely. John 21:15-23 contains a fascinating story that often happens in families today. Jesus is telling Peter how he is going to die. Peter turns and looks at another disciple and says, “What about him?” Jesus answers, “What is that to you? You follow me.” In essence Jesus was saying, “I treat each person uniquely. You worry about yourself.” What a great lesson to apply to our families. Treat people uniquely and special instead of trying to treat them all equally or the same.

This parenting tip comes from the bookSay Goodbye to Whining, Complaining, and Bad Attitudes, In You and Your Kids by Dr Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN.

Parenting Tip: A Three Column Plan

info — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:52:13 +0000

Parents sometimes feel that because their child is a challenge that they, as parents, are the problem. “If I would just do the right things then I wouldn’t have this problem with my child,” they say. Of course, we, as parents do have a lot of influence on our children, but it’s certainly not the whole story.

Children aren’t robots; they’re people who have wills of their own. You can influence but not control them. That’s why parents must be praying for their kids often. God uses you, as a parent, to mold your child. As you work on the heart you will benefit from developing a character development plan uniquely tailored for each child.

Here’s an idea: Fold a piece of paper to make three columns. In column one, list unwanted behaviors you see in your child. In many cases this is a long list but that’s okay. Putting the problem on paper often helps sort it out. In the second column try to group the behaviors into character issues. We find that challenging children often lack qualities like self control, sensitivity, perseverance, and gentleness, just to name a few.

In the third column identify positive character qualities as headings and then specific behaviors you’d like to see to replace those unwanted behaviors. Taking this information, develop a strategy to motivate your child to make small changes.

Whatever you do, don’t show the paper to your child. That’s too much for any one person to see. Choose one character quality to work on and look for positive ways to correct as well as proactive ways to teach the new character quality.

You’ll be surprised at the small steps of progress you’ll see. But it’s those steps of progress that will encourage you and your child. After all, in many homes children are making small steps of progress in the wrong direction so turning things around is a tremendous blessing.

If you’d like help developing an Action Plan for your child, consider beinga featured parent in a webinar with Dr. Scott Turansky. Or, learn more about this six-step character development plan in our book,Home Improvement, by Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN.

What are some ways you’re teaching character in your family?
