Today's guest on 5-Minute Parenting is Michelle Lazurek, a multi-genre award-winning author and mother, who shares her wisdom on leaving a legacy of faith to our children. Michelle's insights and personal experiences shed light on practical ways parents can cultivate a lasting impact on their children's spiritual journey.
Key Takeaways:1. Differentiate Sunday from the everyday: Help children discern between worldly values and spiritual truths. Emphasize the importance of being part of a local church community and integrating faith into everyday life.
2. Be the example: Parents need to lead by example, demonstrating a commitment to spiritual growth and a genuine faith journey. Children absorb and emulate what they see in their parents, making it crucial to be intentional about living out and sharing one's faith.
3. Let them be them: Allow children to explore their faith and individuality without imposing expectations. Encourage open communication, address their doubts, and empower them to make their own choices in their spiritual journey.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important conversation and hope that these insights provide meaningful guidance to all the parents out there. Let's continue to support each other as we navigate the beautiful yet challenging journey of parenting.

She's a dedicated educator, an accomplished author, and a passionate advocate for child development and education. She's a former special education teacher, a school administrator, and university professor. Holly now writes full time, and she creates resources supporting parents and educators.

Practicing opening lunch boxes and containers independently can also build confidence.
2. Practice Expected School Behaviors: It's beneficial to familiarize children with expected school behaviors such as waiting, good listening, and lining up. Parents can also reach out to the school or teacher to understand classroom rules.
3. Play School at Home: Role-playing as the teacher and student can provide a fun way to model expected school behaviors and reduce school anxiety.
4. Countdown to School Calendar: Using a calendar to count down the days to the first day of school can help children understand the concept of time and build excitement.

In our latest episode, we had the pleasure of hosting Karen Whiting, an experienced author and speaker, who shared invaluable insights on ways to engage our children in prayer. Karen's practical and hands-on approach to family prayer is not only fun but also effective in helping children grow in their faith.
Her book, "52 Weekly Devotions for Family Prayer," offers a treasure trove of ideas for parents to engage their children in prayer activities. From "ball prayers" for active kids to "family powwow" sessions where family members pray for each other's worries and wonders, Karen's book offers a diverse range of activities suitable for children of various ages and dispositions.
One of the most heartwarming activities Karen shares is the "overflowing cup of thanks," where children pour colored water into a jar, symbolizing their thankfulness for blessings and the overflow of joy in their hearts. This simple yet profound activity beautifully captures the essence of gratitude and reminds children of the abundance of blessings in their lives.
Karen also emphasizes the importance of not just praying for children but praying with them. By incorporating these interactive prayer activities in our daily routine, we can instill a deeper understanding of faith and create lasting bonds within the family.
If you're looking for practical ways to engage your children in prayer, Karen Whiting's book is a must-have. You can find more about her and her books on her website.Check out free resources and downloads on my website:

Today, I again put on my teacher hat as we discuss ADHD accommodations in public schools for children. It's important for parents to understand how public schools typically make accommodations for ADHD students. In public schools, these accommodations are known as 504 plans, which are designed to offer support for ADHD students.
Some typical accommodations include:
1. Presentation & Organizational accommodations may involve highlighted text, audiobooks, pre-made outlines, and visual schedules.
2. Response accommodations can change how students complete classroom work - such as verbal testing or using technology for assignments.
3. Environmental accommodations can include changes to the classroom setting, such as quieter testing environments or the use of fidget toys.
4. Timing accommodations allow for more time on tests or additional rest breaks to support ADHD students throughout the day.
It's crucial for parents to advocate for their child's needs in school. Remember, having ADHD does not mean your child won't succeed in life. With the right support and accommodations, they can thrive academically! Stay tuned next week as I break down some accommodations for different age levels on 5-Minute Parenting podcast. #ADHD #504Plan #accommodationsCheck out free resources and downloads on my website:
