Things Parents Should Never Do to Their Children: Correct them without love & affection (harshness & provocation).

If we remain sensitive to the Spirit and seek biblical wisdom, we will navigate the changes in our children’s lives with joy & peace.

Parenting isn't about making our children into who we want them to be. God already has a unique & wonderful plan for them. #parenting

We refine & shape the treasures God put in our children. We help them make good decisions, gain wisdom & help them achieve God’s best.

Throughout the crucial & formative childhood years, we must exercise wisdom & maturity in our parenting.

Avoid comparing your kids to each other or to other children you know, either positively or negatively. Use your wisdom & maturity.

Avoid insisting they have the same talents, dreams & gifts we have – or wish we had. We can’t live our life through them.

Avoid making your children the center of your identity & self-esteem.

Avoid frustrating your children with impossible expectations.

Avoid giving up on understanding your children, especially during the turbulent seasons. Pray for wisdom & discernment.
