FORTNIGHTLY TARGET FOR PB4L

At St Paul’s I have self control.   ‘Stop, Think, then Choose what to do.’

Teaching self-control is one of the most important things that parents can do for their children because these skills are some of the most important for success later in life.  

By learning self-control, children can make appropriate decisions and respond to stressful situations in ways that can yield positive outcomes.

Self-control is important, it is a fruit of the Spirit. But do you ever feel like maybe God skipped giving you that fruit? Like you just can’t help what you do? What do we do when we don’t have self-control? 

By planning how to make good choices, we are making the conscious decision to stop and think about what might be impacting on our ability to make good choices and think about what we can do at those times, making the most appropriate choice

Let your kids know, sometimes we know we’re going into a situation where self-control will be hard. Maybe self-control in class is hard for you, and you know tomorrow is going to be an extra boring school day. If you know ahead of time that you’ll need self-control, plan ahead and pray ahead. Plan how to make good choices, and pray for God’s strength to do it.
