Word of God, heals

 Praise the Lord! I had the same difficulty with my daughter and I made her to recite very small memory verses and repeat the prayer I do for her in the morning n at night.... She used to tell very few words Jesus, amma, appa and akka., That's all.... Many advised us to take her to speech therapy but I stood firm with God, that He was the one who gave this child and He will take care of her... And as a consecration I stopped all the videos she used to see and made her to hear only Christian songs, and spent time with her chatting while playing.... God done a miracle and by 5 yrs she sang songs and spoke normally all words and she became a testimony to GOD.. All glory to Jesus. ❤️

The name above all names

 I have a testimony to share, the reason for requesting the Bible verses.

My son was having challenge speaking though he is 4 now, the fluency of conversation is minimal...every night when I put him to sleep, I used to keep talking to him and sing songs, recite few verses and keep literally torturing to open his mouth and say Jesus almost till this yr beginning. The moment I say I say Jesus or any verse he will go quiet...spiritually it was upsetting at times, but I started praying over this for fervently...we started taking him to Sunday school and he started looking at how we teach memory verses and slowly started repeating. For 2,3 nights and early morning he will suddenly wake up and start saying, Jesus, Jesus, Bible, Bible...that's all... that touched me and I was very joyful. Since then he recites with me few memory verses and prays as I teach and tries to sing songs by himself. Praise God for helping us overcome this barrier and start speaking well.

Fgb testimony- school for kids

Praise God for Olive school

I am an FGB. We were searching for school this year for my elder son. My husband wanted to put my son in NSN or Vivekananda (they don't even teach Johnny, Johnny yes papa because Johnny is a Christian name) in chitlapakam. But I wanted to put my son in a Christian school because I received salvation through aChristian school. I knew my God may have some other salvation plan for my kids since God already told me that (Genesis 17:7 - to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.) he will be our GOD. But it is my desire that my kids should study in a Christian school.
Before this incident ,God had taught me that “BOLD PRAYERES HONOURS GOD” so I decided to pray like this “God I don’t need any recommendation but I need Yours” After this prayer , things started to happen in other way, like my husband began to search higher authorities' recommendations. I was asking God to help me in my unbelief. As days went by my husband started to seek people’s help very badly which I did not want to happen . But God strengthened me in amazing ways in all these situations.
Praise God that he closed all the unnecessary doors which is not according his will and opened the door for Olive school. One day while I was on my way to office, God spoke to me through the word OLIVE - Thy children will be like olive. For my surprise the same verse was written everywhere in that school. Finally June 8th we paid the fees in olive public and June 10th was my son’s first day to school.
Important thing here is my husband doesnt know even a single bit of my heart’s desire but our LORD JESUS knows everything and he granted my request.

Yeah!!!! Praise be to his Glorious name.

Tv time tips for parents

[5/21, 2:59 PM] Beulah: How many of you, have no TV at home? And how do you handle it?
[5/21, 3:03 PM] Jansi Word Of: No screentime for kids? (Reframe the question) my 1.25 is already glued to screen at times
[5/21, 3:05 PM] Rosy Priyan Fshp: I think if they are not exposed, it doesn't become an issue at all..
[5/21, 3:05 PM] Rosy Priyan Fshp: My kids watch though.
[5/21, 3:06 PM] Beulah: We don't have a TV at home. But they are used to watching phone, which I think is worse than the TV😒😐
[5/21, 3:11 PM] Rexlin: Laptop is better than mobile... With restricted timings... Strictly to be followed....

Not to have any games in mobile...
I installed few bible puzzle games recently and dealing with it now.. 🤷🏼‍♀
[5/21, 3:11 PM] Rexlin: Try new board games along with them when they ask for mobile / laptop
[5/21, 3:12 PM] Rexlin: Mobile should not be reachable to them... 😉
[5/21, 3:13 PM] Beulah: True, but they get it someone when we use it for calls.
[5/21, 3:18 PM] Prarthana: Agree..  we too don't have TV but my son is fond of mobiles and he is just 1.7 years.. I try my best to engage him with other toys but he goes for the mobile .. it's because of the colourful motion pictures..
[5/21, 3:21 PM] Jansi Word Of: Hmm and I think they must be exposed to at least few good things they can engage with, with strict supervision and time control.
[5/21, 3:21 PM] Jansi Word Of: If we don’t teach them, the world would, obviously down the line
[5/21, 3:31 PM] Janani mcity: As a child I was glued to Tv whenever it's on. Even now when screen is on my eyes will be glued. I don't want my kids to be like me. Though I have strict screen times for them, they do pop in front of the tv. Lesser the better I feel.
1. I minimise taking mobile when they're home.
2. Tab, laptop - Password secured
3. TV Remote not reachable earlier (now in front but they ask if wanna watch)
4. Set time before turning on.
5. Less than 2 yr - NO gadgets- as it affects the brain/neural development not just eyes.
6. Better to avoid mobile/tab(very close to eyes)
[5/21, 4:36 PM] Sharon Preeti: No TV at home, but kids do have screen time. We have a desktop computer with a big screen, which doubles up as 'TV', of course, controlled content.

What I do? I am guilty of spending much time on phone. Trying to reduce usage. One thing I do is, I avoid phone from about 9 AM to 12, so I can have focussed time with the kids. I pick up phone calls, though, which I usually don't have many of.

For kids: they usually have 30 minutes of 'TV time' in the evenings after they clean up plus on some days, a few minutes here and there of some supervised content, usually educational or seeing photos, on the computer or phone screen. No unsupervised phone or tablet for kids. I know screen is not good for less than 2 years, but my 20 month also watches with his brothers, 😔 because it is very hard to engage him in something else when other kids are watching. He is drawn to thr screen.

How we manage? I think it harder to introduce and then stop. At one point, they were getting out of hand watching TV at grandparents place - they live right down the stairs. We had to lay down rules and also teach kids why we don't watch certain shows. It is easier to control time on the computer because we choose one episode and watch through it. So it's usually 30 mins.
[5/21, 4:39 PM] Sharon Preeti: And I think it is easier to manage when I am not glued to the phone 😁
[5/21, 4:42 PM] Beu Sam: In my house, the kids have chores and they earn their TV privilege to watch 2 episodes of wild Kratts which are about animals. When they lie, or not obeying, the first punishment will be no TV for a week... since my 4 yr is still in preschool, she gets to play some learning games in my phone for another hour... they both love to sing songs... me n my husband don't play anything other than Christian songs at home or in car/ van...  we watch couple of programs ( like amazing race, sea world) with the kids during weekends... otherwise, they will play in their room when the TV is on..
[5/21, 4:45 PM] Beu Sam: If we limit our TV time, it will be much easier to make them understand the TV time... so, when it is my TV time, they aren't suppose to watch if they don't want to loose their TV time😝
[5/21, 4:46 PM] Kani: I don't watch TV . And I don't mostly use phone in front of her.
We subscribed few channels but now we shut t down.
She uses phone while eating alone. Less than one hour screen per day s my rule.
Other than eating time no other time mobile to her.
I observed that when I dont use phone she doesn't bother much only wen I use it she cries for it. But others using is real challenge , she some how manages to get from my MIL. Dont know how to control it. I m praying that she starts  somehow to dislike it by herself.
[5/21, 4:51 PM] Kani: But I started disliking it recently. I believe wen I dont expose her for a prolonged period I mean for really looong period they ll dislike t. I stopped watching movies since 2007 till 2012, I mean zero movies or any entertainment in those 6 yrs by Gods supernatural grace. . I do watch now and then. . I do watch but that addiction is totally gone down to almost zero. So I m praying so.
[5/21, 4:52 PM] Kani: After 2012 now and then I m watching now. But I m out of t now.

TV addiction kid

I have a praise point to share related to tv.

Actually my elder daughter has this craze of watching TV. We bought only some 8 months before. Initially I used to take the tv remote when I go to clinic. Her tv time is 1hour that too when I'm at home. She was ok with this rule.

Then I  trusted her & started leaving remote at home. But when her summer vacation started, she started watching TV both in the morning & evening after I leave for work, that too without my knowledge. Oneday I got to know it. Felt very bad& prayed. Then started hiding the remote when I go.

Oneday I heard her singing some song with Hindu names(comes in some cartoon). I was shocked to hear it. But I told her, this is some Hindu stuff. Jesus doesn't like this. That's y I always  tell u not to watch TV when I'm not there. You r a kid & u doesn't know what to c & what not to. By God's grace she is better now.

Now I leave remote at home & she doesn't watch too. She keeps herself occupied with other stuffs. Praise God for this. But still she  struggles in this. Keep her in ur prayers.
