Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate
Word from the Principal

Words matter – both what we say and ‘how we say it’.  Shepherding our children to take care with their words is another of the very real challenges (and privileges) of parenting!

Here are three beautiful words – wise, gracious and secure.

Often our children will repeat our words, with our tone. This weekend, ask God to give you moments where you can ‘catch’ your children displaying these characteristics (wise, gracious and secure), and then take a moment to ‘uplift the good’ and speak these words over your children.

Enjoy the weekend,
Larne Edmeades
