Parenting Corner

Last week we began looking at some foundational principles and truths we want to build and establish in the hearts of our children as they grow toward adulthood. Proverbs says that we "train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). We are living in a day when boundaries and absolute truth are no longer relevant but the truth has been and will always be that our children need boundaries, guidance, instruction, correction and encouragement so that they can move forward on a solid foundation built on the Word of God. The first five lessons or truths we looked at were:

1. If you make a mistake - fix it.

2. If you are thankful - show it.

3. If you are confused - ask questions.

4. If you love someone - say it and show it.

5. If you hurt someone - own it, take responsibility.

Today, let's look at 5 additional lessons we want to see developed in our children:

6. If you are stuck - ask for help: The law of the learner is this - never be afraid to ask for help and never stop learning.

7. If someone needs help - give it: Self Centeredness and self protection can often cause us to not see the needs of those around us. Our children need to see this modeled in our lives in our daily choices and decisions.

8. If you are wrong - acknowledge it: Let's teach our children to take ownership when they do wrong or make wrong choices and decisions. This is more than just a mistake, this is a willful choice to do wrong.

9. If you fall - get back up: This is the beauty of our faith in Christ. When we fall there is grace and forgiveness to turn our hearts back to the Lord and be renewed and refreshed in our hearts.

10. If you see a wrong - take a stand: We want our children to become strong and courageous in their faith. The day will come when they will have to stand for the truth in a world that is opposed to truth.

Parents, keep building, teaching and loving your children as you help prepare them for a full productive adult life. You are valuable and vital so stay consistent and stay the course. It matters more than you know.
