Wisdom for parents

7/22/2019

0 Comments

 
Raising kids, especially teens, can be difficult seen in the case of a mother of a teenage son who was just pulling her hair out over her teen’s disrespect and rebellion.  Fearing a nervous breakdown, her husband whisked her away on a surprise trip to Greece, just the two of them.  A few days after their departure, the teenage son received a post card from his parents who were overseas.  It read, “Son, we are standing high atop a cliff where ancient Spartan women use to hurl their defective children onto the rocks below.  Wish you were here!  Love, Mom and Dad.”
 
Allow me to offer 10 very practical and wise helps from Scripture when it comes to raising kids of all ages. First, spend time with your children (Ephesians 5:16). Second, let your kids know often that you love them just as they are (Romans 15:7). Third, discipline your children as they need it (Proverbs 13:24; 22:15). Fourth, pray for your children regularly (2 Thessalonians 1:11). Fifth, always be honest with your children (Proverbs 12:17). Sixth, love your children’s mother (Ephesians 5:25). Seven, take time to listen to your children (Proverbs 1:5), Eight, encourage your children often (1 Thessalonians 5:11). Nine, celebrate your children’s achievements (Romans 12:145). And number ten, be flexible with your children (Ephesians 4:2)
