We all handle emotions differently. It can be frustrating when our kids are acting out or shutting us out, and all we want to do is help and understand what's happening.

When this happens, we can feel disconnected and alone.

God can help us understand what is going on with our children and with our own feelings and triggers.

Day 1: Give me wisdom Lord!

Isaiah 50:4

Day 2: Be an Encourager!

Proverbs 18:21

Day 3: Use wisdom and discernment to understand our children's emotions.

Proverbs 8

Day 4: Becoming emotionally intelligent!

Proverbs 28:23 and Google

1. Ask God to help you better understand what your kids are feeling, the emotions they express, and the ones they keep inside.

1. Pay attention to what happens before you or your kids become triggered. Is it something that needs to be dealt with or can be avoided?

1. If you can better understand your emotions, it helps disengage from your child's outbursts and be more objective. Learn more about Emotional Intelligence so you can better help your child.

1. Join us this week Monday-Thursday as we pray to better understand our kid's emotions.

FOCUSED PRAYER:

Dear Jesus,

I need your help understanding what my child is feeling. I know you made them unique and he/she responds to things good and bad in their own way. Give me the wisdom to know what they are experiencing so I can better respond. If I am doing anything to cause my child to hold in their emotions or express them in unhealthy ways, make me aware so I can give them what they need. Help me to know what they need, when they need it.

In Jesus' Name, Amen!
