Parenting Goals

I’ve been sharing my goals with you this week. So far we’ve looked at my personal and homemaking goals. Today, I’m gonna share my parenting goals.

Parenting Thomas and any future children is probably the most important and long lasting thing I will ever do. How Michael and I raise our children will affect not just them, but our grandchildren and future generations to come. I want to be intentional about how I parent. I want to have a plan.

Goals:

1. Create (and use) a discipline plan
2. Teach the Bible consistently (weekly lessons)
3. Nightly prayer
4. Choose a life verse for each child
5. Choose 5 Biblical character qualities (unique for each child) that we want to focus on instilling in them (This adapted from Impress Your Kids)
6. Write to each child individually in a journal as they grow (this too!)
7. Help them develop a habit of a quiet time to focus on God as age appropriate

What are your parenting goals? Do you have a life verse for your child(ren)? Please share.
