ADD & ADHD (Neurological Challenges)

Is ADD preventable?  What can a parent do if their child has ADD?  Is a lack of sleep related to ADD?  What is GFI's position on ADD?  How can a class leader encourage class members dealing with ADD? Gary Ezzo is joined by pediatric neurologist Dr. Rusty Turner for this discussion. Together, they discuss the diagnosis of ADD and how much is nature vs. nurture. Using the analogy of a house, they share the importance of having right foundational principles in place.  This presentation will help parents of a child diagnosed with ADD and GFI class leaders/CFH Contact Moms who work with these parents.

A Look at Effective Prayer, a Three-Part Series

Anne Marie Ezzo and Sharon Carter lead a discussion on the vital importance of prayer to an effective spiritual life. This three-part series, addressing personal and intercessory prayer, gently yet firmly exhorts women in the Kingdom of God to utilize the powerful weapon of prayer.  This teaching gives practical encouragement and reminders about the Biblical command to pray.

Boundaries, Choices & First-Time Obedience

This presentation by Anne Marie Ezzo looks at God’s standard of submission, boundaries, choices, and obedience.  She shares what these look like at different ages of children, which is very helpful information for Moms.  Anne Marie also reminds Moms to focus on getting these areas under control in their own lives, which is a must before they can establish them in the lives of their children.

 

Character Training

Training children in character comes through training their hearts.  Sheryl Nickels, a Mom with a wide age-span of both biological and adopted children is the speaker for this presentation.  Sheryl reminds all Moms that they set the tone in their homes and are called to apply Biblical principles in their own lives and in the lives of their children. She also shares ways that Moms can instill Godly truths in their children.

Dispelling the ‘SuperMom’ Myth

What is a ‘SuperMom’? Ask a group of women and you will get completely different answers.  Why?  Because every Mom will define ‘SuperMom’ based on what she sees other Moms do that make her envious of them. Comparing oneself with other Moms robs women of the opportunity to celebrate the unique and gifted way God created every woman to be. This presentation encourages Moms to give priority to loving God, their husbands, their children, and then minister to those God brings into their lives.

Expectations vs. Reality

In this presentation Anne Marie Ezzo and Sharon Carter discuss the way Moms often want things to be (expectations) and the way that they actually are (reality), and how to deal with the tension that is present when one does not match the other.  Everyone expects certain things of each relationship in their life.  When these expectations are not met frustration grows, and this inhibits growth in one’s spiritual walk. Anne Marie and Sharon challenge listeners to assess and evaluate the expectations they have and share how to bring them into perspective.

First-Time Obedience

In the first part of this presentation, Anne Marie Ezzo shares thoughts on obedience that are both practical and encouraging.  In the second part of the presentation, Gary Ezzo discusses the question of whether or not your child is too young to obey.  The things Gary and Anne Marie share are thought provoking and helpful.

Heart-Training

Moms want to know what the Bible says it means to ‘train’ the heart.  What role does heart-training have in parenting?  What is a Mom’s role in changing the heart of her child and how does she do that?  Using the analogy of a garden, Anne Marie Ezzo and Sharon Carter discuss what can be done in training the heart of a child.  Practical teaching is given in how to deal with the heart that is not teachable and how this training is applied in sibling relationships.

Little Men and Little Women

If a family has all girls, it is assumed there are certain things that the parents do not have to teach their daughters. Likewise, if a family has all boys, it is assumed there are things the parents can not focus their training on because ‘boys will be boys’.  Is it possible some Biblical standards and teaching are only for boys or only for girls Sharon Secor (mother of boys) and Marguerite Tyson (mother of girls) compare and contrast the differences and similarities of boys and girls.  Areas that are discussed include the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being of boys and girls.  

Mealtime Behavior

During meals everyone thinks of getting their tummies full. Gary Ezzo shares that focusing on the "preciousness of others" is not impossible during mealtime. Moms can learn how to make this happen in their home and when their family is eating in public.  It is possible! 

 

Our Identity in Christ

In this presentation by Anita Couch, women learn about their significance in Christ, and the importance of trusting the sufficiency of Jesus Christ’s perfect work on the cross.  Anita helps women look into the mirror of truth to find the joyful freedom that comes from knowing who they are in Christ. She shares personal experiences and Scriptural truths to remind women that they are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ.

Parenting without Fear

Fear can paralyze a relationship between a parent and child and stop it from growing or moving forward.  Anne Marie Ezzo and Sharon Carter share how God gives everyone a spirit of power, love, and sound mind which helps Moms combat fears they may have regarding their parenting.

Sibling Relationships

This presentation is a panel discussion with four Moms with children ranging from 2 years - teens.  They give practical tips from their own experience on establishing good relationships between siblings and field questions from the other Moms present.

Structure & Routine

When there is no structure and routine in a family’s life, children behave in unpredictable ways.  They do not share, they have unacceptable behavior issues, and they are characterized by a lack of security.  Children learn self-discipline when they stick to a consistent routine in their home.  How structure and routine work hand-in-hand with the ‘funnel’ and freedoms is discussed. This presentation is a good reminder of ‘why’ it is important to do things well.

What the Bible Has To Say About Working Women

Wisdom vs. Foolishness

Anne Marie Ezzo and Sharon Carter discuss aspects of a wise woman vs. a foolish woman.  Wisdom from the world is completely different from the wisdom of God.  How can women be characterized by God’s wisdom? Sharon Carter emphasizes the effect a woman’s behavior has on her family. She goes on to share that Godly women should become characterized by markedly different behavior than that of a non-believer.  This message covers numerous scripture passages that are direct guidelines from God to women.
