Parenting Corner
Mr. Nix
As parents we are called to teach, instruct, correct and develop the character of our children. We want to build character qualities into them like courage, strength, honesty, integrity, biblical conviction and commitment to the Truth of God's Word. When we look into the scriptures we see one key area of development that we all need - parents & students alike - in order to stay vitally connected to His will and purpose for our hearts and homes.
"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." I Thessalonians 5:11
For everything else that your children need in life, encouragement is one of the most significant and important gifts we can offer. Who among us doesn't need some encouragement from time to time. We are helped and motivated more through encouragement than criticism. As you strive to become a Master of Encouragement here are some Words of Affirmation that can help you build up the confidence factor in your children.
I think you are fantastic!
You did a great job!
You make me smile.
Thanks for being such a hard worker.
You are a great example.
I was just telling ___________ how proud I am of you.
You did that so well!
Good thinking!
You give the best hugs.
You are so brave!
Try these out and see if they don't lift the spirit and countenance of your children. I'm betting they will! We will look at some more examples in the next newsletter.
By the way, Parents, You are doing a great job! Be Encouraged!
XC State Championship
Our Cross Country season came to a close yesterday at a tremendous HCAA State Meet.
Of our 18 athletes, 16 posted their best times of the season, and all of them worked hard. It was a moment of pride to see these guys push themselves one last time - all of their training and hard work paid off, not just in times or medals, but how they "ran in such a way as to win the prize" as Paul says in 1 Corinthians.
Special congratulations to our Senior Girls team of Oaklee Lofton, Olivia Lofton, Libbie Bartek and Makayea Martinez, who won the State Championship, and to our Senior Boys team of Jude Gallagher, Silas Lofton, James Bartek, Jacob Martinez, Chris Real and Manolo Vázquez, who were State Runners Up!
