We become our habits. And our kids become us. This is why carefully choosing the habits of our household is one of the most signicant things we can do for our children's spiritual formation. I'm a business lawyer who used to be a missionary in China. So I've learned Mandarin and passed the bar exam - but parenting is still hands down the hardest thing I've ever done. Often the harder something is, the more God is at work in that thing and I believe God uses parenting to work on us as much as our kids. Habits are the little patterns we fall back on when we don't realize we're falling back on anything. But just because theyre little doesn't mean they aren't incredibly important. In fact, probably the most signicant and spiritual things about a household are the ordinary rhythms we call normal. I invite you to use this book to explore the ways waking, mealtimes, moments of discipline, playtime, bedtime and more can all be moments of opening ourselves up to the work God is doing in us, and our kids. Justin Whitmel Earley Read more PRACTICAL TOOLS, SIMPLE HABITS AND EASY-TO-IMPLEMENT DAILY RHYTHMS, FOCUSED ON PARENTS, CHILDREN, AND FAMILIES, THAT YOUR FAMILY CAN PUT INTO PRACTICE RIGHT AWAY HABITS: WAKING AND MARRIAGE Parenting your children is not just about what you are doing in their lives. It is first about the work of God is doing in your life. This means the starting point of parenting habits is thinking about how our households are forming us as parents. We can't make disciples without being disciples. We can't teach the grace of God outside of experiencing the grace of God. HABITS: BEDTIME, DISCIPLINE, SCREENTIME, AND FAMILY DEVOTIONS After the habits of forming parents, half of the remaining habits are about forming children. These chapters focus on the areas where we get to pick the routines that shape our children: bedtimes, moments of discipline, screentime, and family devotions. There is a real practicality and primacy to these habits, because so much of our day-to-day is concerned with them. HABITS: MEALTIMES, CONVERSATION, WORK, AND PLAY At the intersection of forming parents and forming children is family culture. This is the idea that when we come together, something unique happens - a household is born. One way to think about family culture is to think about what habits and norms our friends and neighbors are invited into when they come over. These chapters will be about habits that focus on communal formation-things like mealtimes, conversations, and rhythms of work and play.
