20 Best Tips

Your Child’s Personality

Seasons of a Mother’s Heart by Sally Clarkson has been such a wonderful encouragement to me lately. Here’s a little something that gave me a bit of conviction and encouragement all rolled into one.

“…accept and affirm the unique personality that God has given {your child"}. Believe it or not, God did not give your child that personality just to help you grow! He gave it because He has a purpose for that child to fulfill, and He needs your child’s personality strengths. God did not make a mistake in giving you your child his or her personality, so don’t make the mistake of being critical of it. Learn to appreciate God’s handiwork in each of your children.”

~ Seasons of a Mother’s Heart, p. 138-139 {emphasis mine}

Lord, help me to appreciate the amazing gift that you have given me in my children and how to best cultivate their individual personalities and not curb them to my own desires!!

  1. OH MY WORD…I read that exact paragraph out loud to Frank 2 nights ago {mostly in regards to the older child of mine}. The portion before that section about her son and the coat made me cry thinking about K. I wanted to call Sally on the phone that night and hug her.

    • There’s so MUCH I want to hug her for in this book!! This time I won’t sit and stare at her when we’re at Relevant. :)

    I really needed to read that tonight! Thank you for sharing.

    We are most likely getting a diagnosis of ADHD for our 6 year old boy. It breaks my heart watching him struggle and stand out in a crowd of other kids his age.

    This passage really gave me hope and turned my focus back to where it should be….God and his wonderful gift. Our child is made perfectly by God.

  5. Thank you
