Parent Cue is produced by our elementary aged curriculum, Orange. The goal  of this webpage is to "cue" you as a parent with what you need when you need it so you can be the parent you want to be. Parent Cue offers amazing resources from an app to a podcast. You can find activities, tools for spiritual growth, and more all measured by phase of life. Get inspired for family time activities and find amazing parenting resources like work charts, cell phone agreements, and more! Click here  to take you to theparentcue.org.
Parenting is a mission field. Our home is ground zero for spiritual growth, safety, and building loving relationships. It is also the first place where there is tension and grief.

LIFE MAPS


 Every phase is a timeframe in a kid’s life when you can leverage distinct opportunities to influence their future. During each phase, there are critical conversations each child needs to have: Technological Responsibility, Sexual Integrity, Faith, and Health.

The Life Maps function as summary charts to inform parents and give an overall picture of the unique characteristics of each phase to help engage kids in these timely conversations. The maps help you see upcoming phases as well as phases they may have already traveled through.

The Life Maps are divided into sections by phase with specific strategies, questions, and words you can say to engage your kids in a meaningful, practical, age appropriate way.
 
The hope is that by identifying your child’s developmental needs, you can parent with more intentionality and confidence.
