Growing up doesn’t have to be tough all the time. Sometimes the smallest thing takes up the most room in your heart. Shout out your praise!
Kids have it rough nowadays. But it’s going to get tougher if we as parents don’t stand up for them. And that doesn’t mean by setting rules only.

Now I understand there are times we need to be harsh, bold, and direct with our children. We need to train up our children (Proverbs 22:6) to set boundaries with no wiggle room.
However, it’s not about being prisoners in our homes.
But at the same time, if all of our parenting skills revolve around discipline and no celebration, what will be retained? How will you be remembered, in their eyes?
“With every strike of the tongue, there needs to be a stroke to the heart.” ~ Kristianne Wargo
The K.I.S.S. ~ Shout out your praise!
Rules and boundaries are set for many reasons.
- Safety and protection
- Education and teaching moment
- Respect and relationships
And within those sets of rules, there are consequences, good or bad.
But what about the celebration? What about your child knowing he/she did an extraordinary job in a difficult situation? What about when your child serves even though it wasn’t the easy way to do so?
Our children need to hear our praise for them.
So how can you shout out your praise?
- Drop the “I told you so!” — You might want to be right. But many times, it’s better if your child realizes he/she did it right.
- Notice the little things. — When they pick up their shoes, thank them for the effort. Acknowledge what your child does before he/she has to point it out.
- Celebrate out of the blue. — Rave about your child, both to them and others.
Life is never easy growing up no matter what. But each of us as parents can groom our children’s hearts to grow deeper and wider not because of being struck down all the time, but by the smallest thing that takes up the most room in their heart.
Shout out your praise!
