“I try not to judge other people’s kids because I never know what mine might do.”
My late grandmother used to say this, and I think it’s as relevant today as it was in her time. None of us have room to judge, none of us are supposed to judge, yet we do it anyway. Within parenting circles, the tendency is to judge both other parents and their kids.
In many cases, it starts innocently enough.
When my daughter Ella was in 4th grade, she got in the car one day after school and announced her plan to run for student council.
At her school each class has a representative, and I was thrilled she planned to put her name in the hat. Even if she didn’t win, it would be a good experience.
She told me almost every girl in her class was running, as well as one or two boys.
Hi friend! Thanks for taking time to visit! I’m a mom of four girls who lives in the South and believes in the power of stories and God’s grace to change and transform lives.
My hope is to encourage you and learn from you. I write a lot for mothers and daughters and love to connect with both, so join me on Facebook and Instagram and let’s have a conversation!
Our world needs your daughter, and your daughter needs you. Lead her well into young adulthood.
What if you decided to love what you have rather than wish for what she has? Learn to embrace your unique life story – and encourage other girls in their unique story too.
Mothers are human too, and taking care of your needs strengthens you for the road ahead.
Moms, our teenage daughters need us, and we need strength from God to love (and guide) them well.
These 10 simple truths will make one big change in your life.
What people say about you is opinion. What God says about you is fact. The way to know your worth is to focus on the facts.
