Your child is already in the process of becoming the kind of person he or she is eventually going to be. So to bring them up right and to make them proud of you, live by these six principles: <\/p>\n
(1) Assure them of your love.<\/i> They need to know your love is given, and it will never be withdrawn because of their appearance, achievements, or actions. Let them know they are loved for who they are, and that their worth in your eyes is never in question. <\/p>\n
(2) Build strong character and godly values. \u2018Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.\u2019<\/i> (Proverbs\u00a022:6\u00a0NLT<\/sup>)<\/p>\n (3) Establish clear boundaries.<\/i> And be consistent in maintaining them. Do children like rules? No. But your first goal is not to make your child happy, it\u2019s to teach them responsibility, and happiness will follow. <\/p>\n (4) Help them to discover their potential.<\/i> That means listening, observing, and once their talents are identified, helping to develop them. \u2018We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.\u2019<\/i> (Romans\u00a012:6\u00a0NIV<\/sup>) <\/p>\n (5) Don\u2019t try to duplicate yourself through them.<\/i> God gave each of your children their own unique makeup and personality. So don\u2019t try to make them something that God and the rest of us don\u2019t need one more of. <\/p>\n (6) Encourage them to pursue their life\u2019s vision. \u2018Your young people will see visions.\u2019<\/i> (Joel\u00a02:28\u00a0GNT<\/sup>) Don\u2019t pour cold water on the fire of their enthusiasm, fan it. Get out of the critic\u2019s seat and become their greatest supporter. If you do, you will make them proud of you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your child is already in the process of becoming the kind of person he or she is eventually going to be.
