What Are Your Family Values? [Downloadable Values List Included]

November 22, 2016 By Joshua Straub Leave a Comment

Does your family use a values list to make decisions? After losing my Dad earlier this month to congestive heart failure, I’m realizing even more how significant our moments are. However, my tendency is to get so caught up in the day-to-day stress and busyness of life that I find it so easy to live counter to the values I hold dear.

In this week’s video we talked about the family values list we created to:

  1. Filter major decisions through
  2. Guide our day-to-day life and interactions
  3. Instill in our kids
  4. Guide our discipline

We put together a list of the 100 Most Commonly Held Values.

Here are a few highlights from the video:

  • Connecting values to our discipline helps us focus on developing long-term character in our kids, not just short-term behavior.
  • Download the values list and narrow your values to your top 5 family values. List them in order of importance.
  • If you’re married, do it separately from your spouse first and then come together to see how your list of values align. Work together to develop your family’s list.
  • Connect Scripture references to each of your values. Post it on your refrigerator.
  • Remember, the most important way to instill these values in our children is to model them ourselves.

Instagram post 2195592084505725459_16377459 This is a magnet castle I built tonight with Kennedy. It’s not the prettiest one we’ve ever built, at least in my eyes, but in her eyes—because she got to do it with daddy—oh man, this was the best castle ever!

We ran a lot this weekend. Dinner with friends one night, filming videos and working on Saturday, and two church services yesterday. Last night, I could tell they were simply longing for connection. And kids spell connection P.L.A.Y.

So today, I promised one we’d finish the LEGO train and the other a magnet castle. And it was pretty much the most epic part of my day.

The easiest parenting wins come with that 20 minutes of command-free time with our kids. Researcher Stanley Greenspan found 20 minutes to be gold for a child’s brain development. Command-free time is when we enter our kid’s world and do what they want to do.

Don’t let the busyness of the holidays rob you of the greatest gift you can give your kids—one-on-one playtime. Just 20 minutes is gold.

May we all progress through the Christmas season with the childlike joy and love of this little guy. This picture progression describes this boy to a T.

And yes, as you can tell by my moves, I have a lot to learn 😂
