Friday’s Family Friendly Finds {March 27, 2015 edition}
It has been a wonderful week! While you may not have known it from our blog or social media involvement, we have actually been on vacation the last few days. And when I saw “we,” I mean all of the members of A Legacy of Faith! We enjoyed a couple of days together in the Smokey Mountains and just got to be together and do family stuff. It was wonderful.
Still, we tried to deliver articles each day and we hope you enjoyed the posts we published during the week.
With that said, on to this week’s family links.
This Week’s Finds
Parents Matter {Matthew’s Musings}. The title of this article may seem obvious, but the post shares some very important information to back up the simple fact that young people need–and want–the input of parents.
Dear Kids: This is What I Want You to Know about For Better or Worse {We are THAT Family}. It’s part of traditional wedding vows, but “for better or worse” needs to be seen for what it is. This fantastic post does just that.
Helping Kids Win Friends … The Old Fashioned Way {The MOB Society}. Children need friends, but they need to know how to gain those friends properly. How can we help our children (especially our sons) with this skill?
Your Date Night Checklist {Mark Merrill}. You decide to have a date night. Now what? This post shares some things to remember each time you go out with your spouse.
How Good Parents Miss Child Sexual Abuse and 5 Questions to Change That {Lauren’s Kids}. The title pretty much says it all, but this is an eye-opening post for any parent!
9 Ways to Balance AND Enjoy Your Busy Family Life {Jackie Bledsoe}. A very practical post for all of us who feel that family always seems to get squeezed out of our run-around schedules.
on the other end of the spectrum: The Blessing of Boredom {for the family}. When is the last time you were actually bored? It may not be as bad as it sounds, for you or your family!
Put Down Your Phone & Turn Off the TV {Arrows in Our Hand}. A great podcast episode from a great podcast!
Firmness in Relationship {National Institute for Biblical Parenting}. Parents need to be kind, but that should never take away from them being firm with their children.
Giving Our Boys “God-Confidence” {The MOB Society}. Too many people think self-confidence is the answer, but there’s something far deeper our sons need.
