And this environment can easily lead to frustration, bitterness, hurt feelings, and even anger as families are forced together in close quarters. Although, this environment can also be an incredible opportunity for healing, blessing, and bonding. Slowly and surely our pre-corona lifestyles will resume, but until then, parents take the time now to have deliberate, purposeful conversations with your kids and spouses to show love and encouragement. Use the situation God has placed you in right now to serve others and glorify Him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-pale-pink-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.focusonthefamily.com\/parenting\/conversations-to-have-with-your-family-right-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cConversations to have with Your Family Right Now\u201d <\/a>by John Trent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">When I first read the article below I immediately thought about how parents\u2019 presence in their children&#8217;s lives has undoubtedly increased in the past 6 months. For most families, this factor has been challenging, yet positive and healthy. Inevitably, schools and daycares will open again and parents will go back to work. When this occurs, you may not be as physically present as you have been in the past few months, but you can still connect with your kids in different ways. I encourage you to take a look at the different ways you can connect more and grow in your relationship with your kids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-pale-pink-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.focusonthefamily.com\/parenting\/kids-desire-our-presence-not-our-perfection\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cKids Desire Our Presence Not Our Perfection\u201d <\/a>by Carol Cuppy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-pale-pink-color\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.focusonthefamily.com\/parenting\/how-to-connect-with-young-teens\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cHow to Connect with Young Teens\u201d <\/a>by Tim Shoemaker<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stay-at-home environment is unique because, for most people, every routine, priority, and activity is done in the same place among the same people.
