HOPECONNECT™ IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR FOSTER AND ADOPTIVE PARENTS TO HELP BUILD CONNECTION WITH YOUR CHILD THROUGH EASY-TO-USE EVERYDAY MOMENTS™!

HopeConnect™ was specially created to help parents caring for children who have experienced trauma. What 4KIDS saw time and time again with our foster and adoptive parents was their heartfelt desire to connect with their child and to help their child connect with God–but this isn’t always so easy.

4KIDS’ team of social workers and trauma-informed therapists partnered with OneHope to create Mini-Moments, all expertly designed to connect parents with their children while connecting children to the Hope of God’s Word. Parents from 4KIDS, Buckner, FaithBridge, and Olive Crest participated in HopeConnect™’s 2021 pilot program as we further refined this unique and powerful tool.

The result? An easy-to-use digital platform filled with Mini-Moments now at every parent’s fingertips.

DEUTERONOMY 6:6-7

These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 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.

If your child struggles with pent-up emotions, play “Stuffed!” at your next meal. This easy game helps kids understand how keeping our emotions bottled inside of us can make us feel like we’re going to explode — and what to do about it.

How many times do you speak with your child each day? Your spouse? How often is your speech reflecting the love of Jesus? 

It’s easy to get caught up in our busy lives and say things out of anger or frustration — and there’s grace for us when we make those mistakes — but remember what God has called us to do. 

As believers, we are the expression of God’s love for us, and our speech should reflect it. Ask God to help you remember this throughout your everyday moments.

Car rides are great opportunities to connect with your child. Use your next one to play “Think, Care, Share,” a no-prep game that encourages your child to share something important about themselves — and ask you questions, too!

As believers, we’re called to throw off the sin that ensnares us. A lot of times when we hear this verse, we think about “big” sins, like adultery, stealing or lying — but to God, all sin is equal. If there is something in your life that is prohibiting you from following Jesus more closely, it’s time to let it go. Ask God for help, and He will empower you to live out what He is calling us to do in Hebrews.
