Welcome to Parenting Thoughts Podcast with Andy & Christie Kirk. Today's episode is about the 7 C's of Parenting.
Competence:
Recognize that God has uniquely gifted each child. In Proverbs 22:6, we are reminded, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."
Confidence:
We need to instill confidence in your child by reminding them of their identity in Christ. Philippians 4:13 assures us, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
Connection:
Build a strong emotional connection with your child by emphasizing the importance of love and forgiveness. Colossians 3:13 encourages us, "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone.
Character:
Character is everything and it is so important for us as parents to help to shape our children in this area matters
Contribution:
Teach your child the biblical principle of stewardship. 1 Peter 4:10 urges, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."
Coping:
Guide your child in navigating life's challenges by grounding them in faith.
Control:
Balancing autonomy and submission is always a challenge

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
