Parents…..Be Encouraged!
In Proverbs 22:6 the Bible says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Training is much more than talking. Successful training takes a well thought out, consistent regiment over a long period of time. In addition, not all children can be trained in the same way. Some children learn better visually, when they are shown illustrations of the lesson. Others learn in an auditory manner, picking up the lesson by hearing alone. Visualizations would be distracting to these children. Still, other children learn with the help of motion or kinesthetically, which incorporates movements into the lesson and helps affix it to their understanding. It’s important for you to recognize the way in which your child learns best. Regardless of the way your child learns, all children will respond to the following: ENCOURAGEMENT Encouragement is defined as “the action of giving someone support, confidence, or hope.” Here are a few ways to encourage your child this week.
One last thought: God tells Joshua in Joshua 1:9 to “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” So parents…Be Encouraged. God is with you on this parenting journey as well. Be Strong and Courageous. You are not alone. Ric Callahan Trusting God, No Matter What Pastor of Families, Westwood Baptist Church, Alabaster, AL
