Finding God in the Unexpected: Mary’s Yes
In every part of the Nativity story, God shows up in ways no one expected.
He meets people in their fear, their uncertainty, their need.
He brings hope, life, and provision right in the middle of the unknown.
This Christmas, let’s look for Him in those places again.

🌟 Welcome to Your Stage-by-Age Parenting Playbook! 🌟
Your monthly guide to understanding, supporting, and connecting with your kids—one stage at a time.

🎉 November Spotlight: ELEVEN-YEAR-OLDS!
Eleven is a big year. Kids at this age are standing at the doorway between childhood and adolescence, and they’re eager for more responsibility, independence, and freedom to explore who they are becoming. Here are three key ways to support them:

1. Teach Them How to Manage Their Own Schedule

Around 11, kids can start using simple planners or calendar apps. Encourage them to track homework, activities, and important dates. This builds early executive-function skills and helps them feel capable and organized.

2. Encourage Healthy Identity Exploration

Eleven-year-olds are starting to ask big questions about who they are. Support their interests—sports, music, style, hobbies—even if they change weekly. Let them try things out without pressure, giving them space to discover what feels authentic to them.

3. Introduce Money Skills With Real Practice

This is a perfect age to learn budgeting basics. Give them the chance to manage small amounts of money—allowance, birthday cash, or helping plan a low-cost family outing. Teach them how to save for goals, compare prices, and make thoughtful spending choices.
