Playful ParentingParenting From the Inside Out
Grace-Based Parenting


Training children goes beyond talking to them. As parents, we should do the following:

1.      Imparting life through love.
2.      Imparting life through prayer and intercession.
3.      Imparting life through faithfulness. You need to be faithful to your spouse no matter the situation.
4.      Always aim to build the children’s’ spirit through encouragement, strengthening and building-up. Use physical, spiritual things to build them.
5.      Be truthful to them always.
6.      Live a holy life, as holy living blesses our children, and they are sanctified by our life.
7.      Always instruct the children with the truth in love. Repetition is a key to remembrance.
8.      Cultivate good listening spirit and heart. Hear the children talk formally to you and informally to themselves. We learn a lot about them through this means.
9.      Help them to develop in stature, wisdom and favour. Wisdom is built into the heart, by giving them good and balance diet/food, plus exercise which assist stature to develop.
10.  Your children spent a long time at school. You should pray that the home education/ministration should help them build positive relationship at school.

Discussion: As a father, do you have time dedicated for your wife, children and family every week? Please, share your own experience with us for others to learn.
