As a group, you may discuss the content of the interview, as well as take time as a group to discuss some of the questions posed this Sunday. Please note that this study is tailored for groups comprised primarily of parents. You may also want to have some fun with this.
Thaw
- As a group, name as many movies as you can in a few minutes that had parenting at the heart of it's story line.
- What's an embarrassing parenting moment you can share?
Discuss
- How did/does God use your kids to shape your soul? What did God teach you about yourself that you might have learned without children?
- Parenting young children is easily the hardest season of life…what expectations should we have for the first several years of our children's life in terms of things "going smoothly"? Free time? Personal goals?
- How parents stay on the same page? How about divorced parents? (refer back to last week regarding "honor"... divorced parents must still help children honor the other parent no longer in the same home!)
- Intentionally shaping the heart
- What does rhythm look like in a home with young children? Older children? How does this affect the types and quantities of activities our children get involved in?
- What are unhealthy ways we make comparisons with other parents? Are there healthy comparisons? What are they?
- What are helpful ways to handle sibling conflict? Defiance? Disrespect in older kids?
- What's the best advice you’ve ever gotten as a parent?
Texts for further study.
