Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Mom Tip: Imagine that there is a recording device capturing your words - and your tone - as you interact with your kids today. Practice being kind and compassionate, using a tone that is forgiving, rather than accusatory or exasperated. See how this one step - focusing on your tone of voice as you interact - affects your relationships. And when you feel yourself slipping into that negative voice, repeat this week’s memory verse in your mind: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
