5 Simple Ways to Encourage Your Kids

Encourage-kids-1200

This past Mother's Day, my pastor brought his mom on stage and asked her to share tidbits of wisdom she'd passed to him throughout the years. The best was when he said his mother would tell him: "Everyone loves you, and if they don't, they're stupid." The audience howled, as you can imagine, but as she spoke that morning, what became clear was that this mama knew how to encourage her son.

"Encourage means to give someone courage," my pastor said. As a mom to a 6-and-a-half-year-old and 2-year-old, there's nothing I'd like more than to instill that sense of encouragement in my girls. I may not always be around when discouragement strikes, so here are some practices we're putting into play. Add your own in the comments!

 

Five Simple Ways To Encourage Your Kids

1. Effort is Everything

Be their biggest cheerleader, but choose the cheer carefully. When kids are praised for their ability, they fail to focus on their effort. Celebrate the effort and they'll continue to push themselves past their ability.

2. Together as a Team

My daughter suggested we come up with an actual cheer to help us feel encouraged before a challenging task. I reminded her that we often say "Go Team Davis!" (mostly tongue-in-cheek) whenever we've accomplished something. It helps us remember we're not in this alone. There's strength and comfort in togetherness.

3. Attitude Determines Altitude

Actions speak louder than words. The clichés are endless, but the fact isyou can talk about having courage and a good attitude, but if yours stinks, it'll show up–most likely in your kids. Have courage for yourself. Acknowledge bad days and tough times (for yourself and your kids), and use them as teaching opportunities.

4. Know the Source

Our courage comes from God. His ways are not our ways. We don't have to rely on our own strength. Help your child commit Joshua 1:9 to memory: "Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (NLT). Some others that will provide encouragement are: Zephaniah 3:17, Jeremiah 29:11 and Proverbs 3:5-6.

5. Love, Love, Love

1 Peter 4:8 says love covers over a multitude of sins. The Message paraphrase says, "Love makes up for practically anything." How true that is! When I asked my daughter what would help her feel encouraged or give her courage after a bad day, she said hugs and kisses.

 

It takes such little effort on our part to show our kids love and erase discouragement. The more we do it, the less we'll need to worry about anything.

Every day as I drop off my child at school we have a routine. I say, "Madilyn, I hope you have a won-der-ful day" (wonderful is always super dramatic). She responds with, "I will."

Encouragement and affirmation. A hug and a kiss. Give them freely and watch your little ones blossom.

MY CRYPTO EXPERENCE

Like many others, I entered the world of cryptocurrency hoping to secure my future. I invested in what seemed like a legitimate platform—CBEX—dreaming of retirement savings and financial freedom. Instead, I was scammed out of $275,000, including funds borrowed from close friends. It was a devastating experience that left me feeling hopeless and ashamed.

But just when I thought all was lost, I came across JetWebHackers—a team of crypto recovery specialists. I reached out, skeptical but desperate. To my amazement, they helped me recover my entire investment in just 72 hours. Not only that, they even helped me track down the scammers.

Thanks to JetWebHackers, I have a second chance—and I can’t thank them enough. If you’ve been a victim of crypto fraud, don’t give up. There is hope, and real help is out there.

As an accountant, I’ve always been cautious with my finances. But last year, driven by the fear of missing out on the booming cryptocurrency market, I gave in. An Instagram ad for CBEX Trading caught my attention—it had a sleek website, live charts, and glowing testimonials. A representative named Elena guided me through the setup, even offering a $200 welcome bonus. Everything seemed legitimate, so I invested $97,300 worth of Bitcoin.

Then, out of nowhere, the CBEX website crashed. All contact with their team disappeared. That’s when the reality hit me—I had been scammed. I was devastated and didn’t know where to turn.

In my search for help, I came across Apex Intervention, a trusted crypto recovery service. Their strong reputation and proven track record gave me hope. The team at Apex worked tirelessly to trace my stolen funds—and they did it. They successfully recovered my Bitcoin from the CBEX scam.

I’m beyond grateful for their dedication and expertise. If you’ve been scammed by CBEX, PCEX, or a similar platform, I highly recommend Apex Intervention LTD.
