Welcome to the Yielded Mom's Blog

Yielded Moms is a group designed to help us identify our roles and goals as parents. We will meet together monthly to explore God’s word, gain parenting wisdom and share and exchange personal trials and triumphs. We will pray for each other and we will glean from those who are wise and have already done the work of parenting according to God’s plan. Yielding isn’t a hesitation, but rather a deliberate attempt to slow and take survey of what’s around before proceeding. My hope that is what we will do here. By surveying parenting around us, we will be equipped to make decisions to merge onto the busy parenting highway or put on the brakes at a parenting trial and spend some time working there until we get a green light.

Parenting with Your Spouse Discussion Questions

Do you and your husband have differences in the way you parent?



Because the husband-wife relationship was created by God first, and because a good marriage is important to successful parenting, what is one way you can grow your marriage?



List 3 positive things your husband does as a father. This week tell him what those things are.



Think of a way your husband struggles as a parent. Write it on the note card provided and commit to praying for him in this area weekly.



Reflect on a time when you criticized the way your husband handled a particular parenting issue. Could you have held your tongue? Or at minimum said something constructive?


Name one area where you need to be less controlling.



Think of a time when you looked at your child and thought before you was a “mini-me.” Are there images of Father God that you have because of the model your parents gave?
