    Proven Ways To Improve Your Child’s Social Skills

    01/19 /No Comments

    Research shows a decline in children’s social skills, particularly thanks to the digital age, which can hamper child development. Today, more children have social anxiety, lack confidence, and prefer staying indoors with their gadgets rather than outside with friends. On the other hand, social skills can help kids build positive relationships, communicate effectively, and navigate social cues. Also, children with strong social skills are more likely to be successful in school, become emotionally well-adjusted, and have better mental health. If you want your child to become confident and self-assured, use these proven ways to improve their social skills.

Here are a few signs to guide you.   Image Credit   Mood changes…

    What Does Your Name-Tag Say?

    01/11 /No Comments

    There are so many names we can be given and give ourselves. The positive names are what we strive for and what God wants for us. The negative names are what we get when we take control and put God in the backseat. I personally have been guilty of this several times. I get it in my head that I can do a better job and navigate life without his help. This is when my life gets out of balance. My relationships begin to falter, depression sets in and doubt takes over. At times it takes me a minute to figure out the missing piece, God. When I do have…
