How love gets handed down:
▪Tell them how Jesus has actually changed your life.
▪Say “I love you” out loud. Don't let your kids be the ones who never heard it.
▪Teach self-giving love by modeling it — showing up for people in need, without being asked.

Ways to build endurance into them:
▪Let them see where you're struggling and how you're choosing to press on.
▪In a hard class or situation, resist the urge to rescue.
▪Let them face the consequences of their own choices, instead of bailing them out every time.

You loosen money's grip on your heart by giving it away.
Giving: start them early, make it normal
▪Teach them to give a portion of any income right off the top.
▪Let them physically put the gift in the offering, sponsor a child, or buy groceries for a family who's short.
▪Do without something together, and give the difference away — kids remember sacrifice they shared in.
