PARENTCUE
What is Parent Cue?
It is a blog. A cue. A prompt.
It’s not an encyclopaedia on everything you need to know. It’s not an exhaustive training course to make sure your kids “turn out” ok. It’s not a counselling hotline you can call when you have a help-I-can’t-believe-my-child-just . . .- crisis. This blog is a cue. It’s a prompt.
Because really, we know you’re already incredibly busy doing all the things you should do to invest in your kids and to help them on their way to adulthood—and hopefully out of your house.
But just because you are really busy doing great things doesn’t mean it’s easy to stay focused on what’s important. That’s where we come in. We want to make it easy for you to remember what’s important.

Parenting in the 21st Century
Andy Stanley, pastor of North Point Community Church in the USA delves into a 4 part series to help parents raise their children in todays world...
Part 1 - Secret to Great Parenting
"Ideal can seem out of reach, and it sometimes feels easier to put it out of sight. Part of being a parent is to point our children toward the ideal, while at the same time navigating what is real."
Part 2 - The Patient Parent
"Moms and dads dream of a future where their kids become adults and still want to come home regularly to visit. As parents, there is something we can do to lay the foundation of that dream becoming a reality."
Part 3 - The Goal of Discipline
"When our kids mess up, our tendency is to take something away from them. However, punishment shouldn't be the end goal of discipline. Restoration should be."
Part 4 - What Love Requires of Parenting
"If your main goal is your kid's obedience, you're settling for something less than and you're setting yourself up to have anger stirred up regularly. Instead of obedience being the objective, there's a long-term target that will go a long way toward winning as a parent".

The Chat
Have you prepared yourself for the day your kids ask: "Where do babies come from?"
Talking to our kids about sex should not just be one awkward conversation we gear ourselves up for. Rather we need to see it as an amazing opportunity to build into the lives of our kids and equip them for the future.” – Christy Herselman (Author of Birds Bees and Destinies)
