Children have a way with words when they want something. We say one thing, but they yell another. “Don’t talk to me like that!”
No one deserves to be talked down to. But we as mommas do it, not on purpose, but we do.

Maybe it’s been a long week. Not everything has worked out the way you or your child hoped. There’s a little extra stress in the air you breathe.
For just a moment, you feel that what you say is more important than the whining or frustrated child waiting for you to be quiet.
“I’m going to scream a little louder. You need to hear what I have to say whether you want to or not.”
Children need to listen and hear their mommas clearly. Not ranting and raving just because. But sharing her wisdom as only you can.
Maybe you can recall a time driving in the car and your child was misbehaving in the back. At some point, you yell out… If you don’t stop this right now, I’m gonna come back there.
There is a Greek word, Epitimaō, and it means to command with an implication of a threat.
Your children need to hear your love exclaimed through words that can be threatening. And that threat is simply due to the fact they don’t want to hear it.
You’re not saying it to hurt them, but to help.
We need to stop putting ourselves in the backseat and stand up for our children by sharing our wisdom.
Epitimaō
It’s been a long week! When you’re tired, you don’t always make good decisions.
And my children tested me on some of the decisions they were making. They challenged me on how much do I allow them to grow up on their own verses assisting them with clear, concise wisdom to change their direction.
“There is a time to be silent and a time to speak.” ~ Ecclesiastes 3:7 (NIV)
However, a lot of us lean more toward the silent. It’s easier and there’s less yelling.
Today I want to encourage you to stand up for your child.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Let your wisdom be heard!
Let your wisdom be heard. You don’t need to silent yourself from your children.
Your knowledge is a gift to your child. They might not see it at first, but stand proudly. You are doing right by them in sharing that wisdom.
And yes, that means putting your foot down at times.
Drawing the line in the sand and saying NO loudly!
It won’t be easy when they disagree. But know in your heart that if God shares His wisdom, you are to share yours.
“There is a time to be silent and a time to speak. Let your wisdom be heard!”
