How to Help Kids Obey: A Practical Guide for Biblical Parenting

Remember when you promised, “my kids will never act like that“?

My oldest daughter recently mumbled those judging words the other day when she witnessed a few poorly behaved kiddos. I chuckled to myself and remembered thinking that EXACT thing all those years ago, too. Four kids later, I’ve come to realize that raising children isn’t nearly as easy as it looks to others.

So how do you get kids to obey? Well, in many cases, that is one of the greatest parenting frustrations! (Trust me, you’re not alone on this one.)

We all look at other seemingly perfect families and wonder what secrets they have that we just seem to be missing. Here’s the truth-their kids disobey, too.

This side of heaven, sin and disobedience are a part of the package. But did you know that God uses that to draw us close to Him? It’s our inability to obey, our weaknesses, and, yes, our failures as a parent that God uses to show us how much we need Him (and just how good He really is).

Here at Not Consumed, we are excited for the opportunity to come alongside you as you walk this parenting journey. We want to help you apply scriptural truths and give you practical tips and tricks that can get your family on the right track with obedience!
