You are not alone…
We asked moms why they needed the Keep Quiet Challenge for Kids. We had hundreds of replies and they all sang the same tune – struggles with grumbling, lying, talking back, begging…
“I can foresee this study being a game changer for our whole family.”
– Molly, Maine
“I am almost to my breaking point. We all need to learn some respect for each other. I’m mentally and physically exhausted. I can’t wait for this to be released.”
– Heather, North Carolina
“My children let me know just how much they want to be in charge by talking back frequently, sometimes lying, and also begging. This study would be a great way for us to learn to tame our tongues together and bring more peace to our home.”
– Kayla, Tennessee
“The tattling and lying starts first thing in the morning for our five kids…. I need help!”
– Eve, Washington
“We need a Bible study like this for our children, because we are both so tired of the grumbling and complaining that comes with chore time, school time, any time!”
– Sunny, West Virginia
“This is something my family needs! The kids keep arguing, whining, and begging till I lose my cool, and this means the atmosphere in our home is not the peaceful, joy-filled atmosphere I long for. I need help!”
– Melissa, Okinawa, Japan
If you are looking for lasting change in your family, the original version of the Keep Quiet Challenge was written just for women. Several of the Challenges are the same in each study, such as Tame Your Tone of Voice, Think Before You Speak, and Avoid Being Negative, whereas the Kids version has a few Challenges that are specific to them such as Don’t Talk Back, Don’t Tell Lies, and Stop Whining.
Act it out cards are great for family use. There is an Act it Out Card included for each weekly Challenge. Siblings can act out scenarios that will enable them to see how changing their responses can bring about better results in various situations. For example:
Your brother or sister is doing that little thing that annoys you the most. You need to ask them to stop doing it. How do you ask them, and what happens next?
Someone has just hurt your feelings with something they said. You want to say something hurtful back. What do you do, and what happens next?
You are at the store when you see the prettiest or nicest ____ (you nil in the blank) that you’ve ever seen. You ask your mom or dad if you con have it, and they say no. How do you respond?
Question Cards
Question cards are perfect for family discussion time. Each Challenge has a corresponding Question Card that includes question prompts to get discussion flowing. For example:
Who do you usually hove the most trouble with controlling your tone of voice when you talk to them? Why?
Are there things you know you ore keeping bottled up inside?
Why is it important to respect everyone, no matter who they are?
What ore some reasons you might be tempted to tell a lie?
Character Charts
