If you&#8217;d like to read from the beginning of the series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/2024\/07\/whats-your-why-for-family-discipleship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">start here<\/a>.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several years ago, when I wanted to start reading the Bible at breakfast time with my kids, I knew what I wanted but not how to make it happen. My mornings were hectic with a capital H! I would wake up after my children, then I would dash around grabbing food and changing diapers and helping kids get dressed and emptying the dishwasher, then rush to drop everyone off at the right places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I disliked who I was in the mornings. I was irritable and impatient. I desperately wanted to start reading the Bible with my kids in the mornings but <em>I. Just. Couldn\u2019t. <\/em>Even when I had the time, I would empty the dishwasher instead of sitting down at the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And I knew that, even if I managed to read the Bible once or twice, it would be all too easy for other tasks to push out the one I was trying to fit in. Motivation had only taken me so far in the past because something else would come along that would be momentarily more motivating and I\u2019d veer off course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our eventual practice of short devotions wouldn\u2019t have turned into a little habit if I hadn\u2019t figured out two problems. The first\u2014keeping us from even getting off the ground\u2014was that I had no consistent pattern. Any new, good habits had no chance to take hold thanks my current bad habits of late waking, disorganization, and distractedness. I had an admirable goal, but how could I remember how to do it? The second problem was that I needed make sure I had enough motivation to keep going. Once I started my habit, how could I ensure I wouldn\u2019t get derailed like I had so often before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>The Power of Prompts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We get out of bed because we need to turn off the alarm or use the toilet. We eat because we\u2019re hungry or bored. We get in the car to go to work or school because we look at the time and are reminded to get going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you look carefully at your life, you\u2019ll notice that every behavior has an invisible prompt. Habit research tells us the reason for that: We all need something to remind us to trigger a behavior. This something is called a prompt. To grow those deep faith roots in your family, you\u2019ll want to harness the power of prompts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the BJ Fog\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/behaviormodel.org\/\">habit equation<\/a>\u201d, every behavior needs the same three components: motivation, ability, and a prompt. Determining your prompt is critical when you\u2019re planning out a new habit because without a prompt, your new behavior is dead in the water. It\u2019ll never become a habit because you\u2019ll rarely remember to do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are prompts (also known as cues or triggers), anyway? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>There are three types of prompts:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. External Prompt.<\/strong> An external prompt is something we see or hear that reminds us to do a behavior: like an alarm clock or a school bell, a child\u2019s cry or a calendar reminder on your phone. External prompts don\u2019t usually work well for habits because it\u2019s far too easy to ignore them. I mean, how many times have you hit the snooze button in the morning or forgotten a dentist appointment because you missed (or ignored) your external prompt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several years ago I would have attributed the success of my Bible and Breakfast habit to an external prompt: a huge plate my husband and I happened upon at one of those \u201cpaint your own pottery\u201d shops in a mall. I painted the plate with little stalks of wheat up the sides to remind me of the Bread of Life, and then I used the plate as a consistent spot for my Bible in the center of the table. However, I\u2019ve since realized that the plate was only part of the equation. Yes, seeing it reminded me of my priority, but it wasn\u2019t enough to establish my habit\u2014because, as an external prompt, it was too easy to ignore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Internal Prompt.<\/strong> The second type of prompt is internal, like a feeling of hunger. Internal prompts can also be thoughts like, I should call my mother, or I haven\u2019t had much water today\u2014I should have some before I feel dehydrated. Most internal prompts are also easy to ignore. How many times have you shushed that little voice that noticed your neck muscles were tight and suggested you might feel better if you took a stretch break? Every day I used to think, I should sit down and read with my kids, but that internal prompt was easy to set aside when I looked around and saw all the other things I needed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Anchor Prompt.<\/strong> The best kind of prompts for long-lasting behavior change are what BJ Fogg calls \u201cAnchors.\u201d An anchor is something that you already do all the time\u2014an existing habit. And before you say, \u201cI don\u2019t have any existing habits,\u201d let me ask you this: Did you.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>get up this morning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>use the bathroom today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>brush your teeth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>eat today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>go to bed last night?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>shower today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you did any of those things, you have existing habits that anchor your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to identifying anchor prompts that can help in family discipleship, you can ask yourself this question: <strong>What routines, tasks, and rhythms already exist with my kids?<\/strong> Whether you\u2019re homeschooling, dropping kids off before work and picking them up after, or serving as a permanent taxi driver for active teens, you\u2019re already doing many consistent, ordinary tasks with your kids daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how can we use the power of prompts to invite God into what we\u2019re already doing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>WANT SOME IDEAS FOR LITTLE HABITS?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This free download gives you lots of little ideas for incorporating habits of prayer, Scripture, and worship into your daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-circular\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/tynadmin.tyndale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/04_IdeasforLittleHabits.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IDEAS FOR LITTLE HABITS<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-coblocks-highlight\"><mark class=\"wp-block-coblocks-highlight__content\"><em>In our next post, we will learn how to make those habits stick.<\/em><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Little-Habits-2-1024x341.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Little-Habits-2-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Little-Habits-2-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Little-Habits-2-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/Little-Habits-2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ysDgU6Qw8yU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WATCH THE VIDEO<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-5 wp-block-columns\" style=\"padding-top:2.5rem;padding-right:2.5rem;padding-bottom:2.5rem;padding-left:2.5rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/pic_420_Thomas_Christie.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/pic_420_Thomas_Christie.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/07\/pic_420_Thomas_Christie-228x300.jpg 228w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-4 wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h2>Christie Thomas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Christie Thomas is a mom, writer, and family discipleship coach with extensive experience in children\u2019s ministry.
