Write a note to your child on their mirror or a sticky note on their door saying, “Be brave by being truthful with your whole life.” If they ask what you mean, talk to them about being true to who they are and not bending or changing to what their friends behaviors are like. For example, if you see someone not being kind, stand up for what is right.

While in the car ask your preteen, “What do you tend to focus on? What is important to you? Do you like your answer or think something should change?”
Q & A FOR KIDS: What is the coolest thing God made that you’ve either seen in real life, or that you’d like to see? (Think: Grand Canyon, the Northern Lights, etc. )
Q&A FOR PARENTS: When you were a kid, what was the craziest thing you imagined yourself being as an adult?
God has created you for a purpose. He’s created you to do things that no one else on this entire planet can do in the same way as you! Share with each other if you have any ideas what some of your purpose might be. Parents, you can encourage your kids with what you see in them. Pray that God will show you both something new about your purpose this week.
