• Are you struggling to raise children in this modern-day chaos of technology? Video games, smartphones, social media, and all of the platforms? Yeah, me too mama.
  Romans 12:4 (write this out and put it up where you can see it daily) Don't get bullied into parenting like the world parents. We have a much better option! Simple but not easy.
  And do not be conformed to this world (any longer, with its superficial values and customs), but be transformed and progressively changed (as you mature spiritually) by the renewing of your mind (focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes), so that you may prove (for yourselves) what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect (in His plan and purpose for you).
  This is from the Battlefield of the mind bible, amplified version. Featuring notes and commentary by Joyce Meyer. I have a few different bibles, and this is my ALL TIME FAVE! If you are in the market for a bible that is easy to ready, and applies practical, real life, gritty wisdom from a Godly woman this a great investment. The pages of mine are tattered, scribbled, dripped with coffee, and sometimes tears, it's near and dear to my heart. Tho it's no longer pretty, it's well loved and tattered from many years of reading. I love it.
  You are the parent and God entrusted you with your children. He knew exactly what He was doing when He gave them to you. You are equipped and called for your mission. Don't take it lightly and don't be bullied or swayed into parenting like the world.
  In this episode we cover...
  
• Why boredom is good, don't let them lose their sense of wonder.
• Negative effects of video games.
• negative effects of smart phones, social media. All the platforms.
• What we can do about it.
• spend time with your child, do more listening than talking.

How to pour into their strengths.
Let's parent intentionally and not be conformed! Let's dare to live differently and teach our kids to do the same. You got this, mama!
xoxo, Alicia
