How to meet the three needs that every child is born with
|
- Secure Love. Let them know they are accepted as they
are. Let them know they are part of a loving and honoring
family. Give regular and generous helpings of affection.
- Significant purpose. Regularly affirm them. Let them know
they have our attention. Gracefully admonish them and
lovingly correct them. Draw clear moral boundaries. Challenge them
to a high standard.
- Sufficient hope. Help them recognize their God-given
abilities. "Train up" a child according to their unique
bent and help them develop their gifts. Encourage them to live a
life of adventure. Adventure helps us face and conquer our fears. Strong kids end up more safe in the end. Help
turn their childhood into a series of positive accomplishments.

Blessing our grandchildren spiritually, emotionally, and physically
|
Bless spiritually - pray for them. Show them how to grow in
their faith and use their spiritual gifts.
Bless emotionally - celebrate their accomplishments and avoid
showing favoritism.
Bless physically - provide a safe and comfortable home where they
are always welcome. Assure them they are beautiful or handsome in your
eyes and in God's.

Communicating Unconditional love to your grandchildren

Fill the needs of our grandchildren and bless them without any
"strings attached." Remain positive and supporting.

Project idea.

Start a journal just for chronicling the spiritual, emotional, and
physical blessings and concerns that occur along life's way.
