Momology: The Art & Science of Mothering
MOPS International Theme for 2010-11

Our goal in MOPS is to equip you to handle the joys and challenges of life as a mom. Time and time again, MOPS moms share that the friends they make in MOPS are significant in this season of life and last for many years. Mothering is so complex it requires both sides of our brain - not ot mention our hands and feet, eyes and ears, mother and (sniff, sniff) unfortunately, sometimes even our noses!

MOPS International has identified four essential elements for successful outcomes with our kids:

1. Core is about knowing and growing ourselves. understanding and working with our unique temperament, experiences, and emotions in a way that develops resilience. Research clearly shows that a mom with a strong, resilient core is more likely to raise a child with a strong resilient core.

2. Finesse is about honing practical skills - intentionally carrying out our daily responsibilities in ways that encourage growth and resilience in our kids.

3. Circle is about building relationships with neighbors, care-givers, extended family, and most importantly, with our husbands.

4. Grandscape is about engaging with God and his unique purpose for our lives. Both secular and Christian research identifies faith in God as an essential element for successful mothering.

"Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." Psalm 139:10

Anywhere we go, God sees, knows, and guides. So we can lead - and love - knowing God will get us through all the hard spots, all our decisions, all our roles, all our times we can't hold open our eyelids and the times we're bursting with joy. God's hand guides us as we guide our children.
