Category: Course: Mean Words Hurt! Are They Trash, Truth, or Treasure?

Words have power—to hurt, to teach, and to bless.  This mini-course will equip you with a simple yet profound tool for handling the words that come into your life and your children’s lives. Through thoughtful devotionals, stories from parents like you, instructional videos, conversation starters, and fun activities to do with your kids, you’ll learn how to make Trash, Truth, Treasure a part of your family’s everyday language.

“My sensitive 7-year-old heard ‘I don’t like you when you’re a bad sister’ when I was actually complimenting her. Staying calm instead of correcting her led to an honest conversation about school struggles. We discussed the concepts from the Trash, Truth, Treasure tool and made a plan to add a “treasure” to her heart every evening at bedtime. I think for my sensitive little girl, learning these skills of discerning the words and judgments of others and building a strong sense of her true identity will be extremely valuable for her. Thanks again for another extremely practical tool for teaching some incredibly important life skills.” -Annie, mom of 4
