PARENT CUE

We’ve redesigned the 252 Parent Cue to help you better connect parents with your strategy and message.

The new weekly Parent Cue includes all of the month’s information, so parents can access what they need to know when they

need it (even if they miss a week). Each Parent Cue provides simple prompts throughout the week to remind parents to pause

and make the most of everyday moments.

Parent Cue cards include:1. the monthly life app

2. the monthly memory verse

3. the weekly Bible stories and bottom lines

4. the cues to prompt parents to connect with their kids each week

The sizing of our Parent Cue card is also new and now includes art elements that match each month’s theme in 252 Basics.

A “primer” for parents is available on the following pages. You may want to provide a copy for each family.

FORMAT

Parent Cues are available in a PDF format, along with an editable and emailable format.

TIME CUE

The Parent Cue is a Morning Time, Meal Time, Drive Time and Bed Time cue for each month. By following these simple Cues

based on Deuteronomy 6:7 — “Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk

along the road, when you lie down and when you get up” — a parent can make the most of everyday moments to instill faith

and character in the heart of their child.

Ask a kid: What is the most valuable thing you own? Why is it so important to you?

Ask a parent: If your house is on fi re and you can only grab one thing, would you grab the most expensive thing or the thing that you love the most? Is it the same thing?

MEAL TIME

If your house is on fi re and you can only grab one thing, would you

Read 1 Samuel 16:1-13 together. Then, reread verse seven. Share with each other a person you judged on their outward appearance instead of their heart. Ask God to help you honor others for who they are instead of how they look.

BED TIME

Read 1 Samuel 16:1-13 together. Then, reread verse seven. Share with each other a person you judged on their outward appearance instead of their heart. Ask God

instead of how they look.

On your next drive, pull up this month’s music video, “Shout Out Loud,” on either the Parent Cue App or Studio252.tv. Watch, groove, and see who can learn the lyrics the best!

Honor and humility go hand in hand. It takes putting your own pride and sense of accomplishment aside to really see the value in others. Of course, this is easier said than done. This month, try pointing out others’ wins in front of your family. Brag on a coworker over dinner. Compliment your spouse or friend on their hard work. Refuse to stay quiet any longer about how proud you are of your kids and even their peers! Honor may not come naturally, but it sure can be a natural part of your family’s discussions.
