DISCUSSION QUESTIONS (30 MINUTES)
As the group leader, start the conversation.
Tell a story about how you had a “Quick Fix” Parenting moment.
Try to make it lighthearted.
Then guide your groups through these questions:
:Q Everybody falls into Quick Fix Parenting now and again.
When is this most likely to happen for you?
:Q When do you most often doubt you have any influence in your children’s lives at all?
:Q What makes you nervous about your kids following your example?
:Q What do you want your kids to pick up from you?
:Q says, “Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.”
How do you think God feels about your child?
:Q Have you ever considered having an intentional plan as a parent?
How might doing this feel overwhelming?
On this last question, simply point out that the purpose of this series is to help all of us.
When the five meeting times are completed we should have a realistic plan that’s not overwhelming
