<p>Welcome to Parenting Thoughts Podcast with Andy & Christie Kirk. Today’s episode is about the 7 C’s of Parenting. </p>
<p><strong>Competence:</strong></p>
<p>Recognize that God has uniquely gifted each child. In Proverbs 22:6, we are reminded, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." </p>
<p><strong>Confidence:</strong></p>
<p>We need to instill confidence in your child by reminding them of their identity in Christ. Philippians 4:13 assures us, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." </p>
<p><strong>Connection:</strong></p>
<p>Build a strong emotional connection with your child by emphasizing the importance of love and forgiveness. Colossians 3:13 encourages us, "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. </p>
<p><strong>Character:</strong></p>
<p>Character is everything and it is so important for us as parents to help to shape our children in this area matters </p>
<p><strong>Contribution:</strong></p>
<p>Teach your child the biblical principle of stewardship. 1 Peter 4:10 urges, "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to <strong>serve others,</strong> as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." </p>
<p><strong>Coping:</strong></p>
<p>Guide your child in navigating life’s challenges by grounding them in faith. </p>
<p><strong>Control:</strong></p>
<p>Balancing autonomy and submission is always a challenge </p>
