Calling Children Up and Not Out - Renewed Mama Podcast Episode 4

Everyday kids get called out.
Be quiet. Sit down. Slow down.
What are you doing to your sister?
Why can’t you share?

They get called OUT for what they didn't do right. How they didn’t fall in line, follow directions, and perform.

I want to challenge you, Renewed Mama to instead, call them UP, not Out. Call them up to a higher standard. Call them up to greatness.

Say: "I love you and I see a lot in you. I'm calling you UP.
Thank you for listening when it's time to listen.
Thanks for talking when it's time to talk.
And thank you for putting your hands to work when it's time to get the job done."

As moms, dads, educators, and coaches, we can be intentional about the words we choose to say to our children and students.

We can stop calling them OUT which invites negativity, criticism, and shame. Instead, we can call them UP to more, to all that they were meant to be, which invites hope, belief, and blessings on their future.

So what does calling them up sound like? What should you be saying instead?

Listen in as we talk obedience, complaining and whining, diligence, and high energy.
