Discover practical parenting tips to unlock your child’s hidden potential using the SHAPE Parenting Model. Learn how understanding and connection bring out greatness in your child.
Good Hello to All Parents!
Welcome to the SHAPE Parenting Model Series. My name is Coach Martin, and in this series, we empower parents to discover their personal SHAPE and use it to build collaborative, interdependent relationships with their children.
Why? Because every child deserves an environment that helps them grow into the best version of themselves—unlocking their potential, abilities, and greatness.
Your Child Is More Than What You See
The child before you is not a fantasy or a fictitious idea. They are a real human being with value, gifts, talents, skills, and purpose—all of which are screaming for expression.
- They have greatness inside them.
- They have deep treasures waiting to be discovered.
Parenting According to Proverbs 20:5
“The purpose in a man is like deep waters, but a man of understanding will draw it out.”
Imagine the deep sea. Valuable treasures and the best fish are never found in shallow waters—it takes patience, skill, and the right tools to reach them.
In the same way, the best of your child is not just in their looks or physical appearance. It’s hidden in their character, gifts, and purpose. To bring it out, you need:
- Understanding
- Patience
- Relationship, not control
How to Draw Out Your Child’s Greatness
✔ Connect, Don’t Command
Parenting is not about issuing orders or using physical and emotional force. Those methods only shut down a child’s potential.
✔ Engage Through Conversation
Listen to their thoughts and feelings. When your child feels understood, they will trust you with their deepest treasures.
✔ Create a Safe Environment
A safe and loving home inspires children to explore, grow, and express their true selves.
The Question Every Parent Must Ask
How have you been engaging with your child?
Are you the parent who draws out purpose through understanding? Or the parent who shuts down potential with harshness and control?
The choice is yours—but if you want to raise a confident, purpose-driven child, start by developing understanding.
Final Thoughts
Your child is a masterpiece in progress. Don’t settle for shallow parenting—dive deep and draw out the greatness within them!
