Last
year a friend gave a book (How to really parent your child by Ross
Campbell) and as a family, we have been reading it.
A
statement from this book: “We need to mould our children’s character as God
molds ours: through transformation. We transform their lives by transforming
their through processes – the way they think, they way they see.”
I like
the practical tips: Always share your decisions with reasons. Say “because” of
this… Never say “This is my command!” The more we share the reasons, the more our
motivations will be clearer. Plus our kids will know why we make statements.
Basically they will our values better and our heart beats.
But
there is time for everything. The best times are when they ask QUESTIONS
and when they are QUIET (near bed times, or in quiet places where they
emotionally connect with us). Use those moments. We will find good opportunity
to bring up our kids.
A test:
Is my child getting closer to my heart? If not…
