How can you tell if someone needs encouragement?If they are breathing, according to Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A.Children can easily and quickly become discouraged, especially when tired or stressed, and become negative, self-critical, and depressed.The Bible mentions “encouragement” a lot, including Hebrews 3:13, which tells us to “encourage each other daily.”You can create an encouraging environment for your loved ones by building up and encouraging them more than criticizing and correcting them. Kids will know it is OK and safe to make mistakes and learn that God can use their failures to help them grow.Parents should be their family’s CEO — Chief Encouragement Officers.For more information about a Proven Process that is helping boys grow into godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

#1023: Changes
Your teen boy is going through a lot of changes. You might need to change a bit, too. Of course, the fundamentals of godly parenting and discipline will stay the same. But as your son matures, it’s important to take a step back and prayerfully consider that a change in approach may be helpful. For instance, a teen boy will most likely pull away from his mom and gravitate towards his dad. This is normal and healthy, and experts say to encourage that relationship. Many high school boys are also extremely hard on themselves and sensitive to criticism, so be sure to ramp up the encouragement and empathy. And finally, teen boys are dealing with a lot of hormones and emotions. Encourage your son to pursue healthy outlets, especially outdoor physical activity.To learn about the five critical needs of boys, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
