Children appreciation post.
Your child is first of all a human being and child of God, before they are your son/daughter.
Appreciate that.

Perfect description of parenting.
“You fulfill yourself by denying yourself, preparing people you can’t live without to live without you.”
— Andrew Ferguson
Children are not appropriate emotional confidants. Even if they are great listeners, stop making them “mature for the age” by overloading them with adult problems.
Interesting times we're experiencing. #CBC should be done away with. Let's revert to the old 844 with all the subjects e.g. music, art n craft, agric, etc. #ScrapCBC
My pal, an unmarried dad of a #CBC girl, told me some Nairobi #CBC parents don't see their babies' homework as they've designated cyber cafe chaps to do them. Some even have scare crows and such ready-made. Kids drop assignments to collect later and parents are sent the bill...😲
Are you growing as a parent?
Are you daily striving to be the parent you've always desired to be?
Are you allowing God to mould you, make you, and make up for where you fall?

If cheating is fun, then getting caught, losing your family, and losing the respect of your spouse and children must be hilarious.... change your thinking.
In everything you do, your children are sub-consciously following after you.
That means, they will also follow you as you follow Christ, so lead them well. Teach them to seek God for themselves, so that he will be their anchor all through their lives. 🙏🏽.

Before you go off on your child (or anyone in the family) for a mistake they have made, why don't you seek to understand why it happened. Empathize and encourage instead.
You and your family members need to prioritise filling each others' love tanks...everyone needs it especially the children.
The weight of expectations can deplete the love tank.

Seek to connect with your child first.
Build that trust. Then your correction will land on a heart already made tender by your love, and thus will have greater effect.

See the good in your children, and you will draw out the best from them; see the bad in them and you will draw out the worst from them.

We often remind children to be nice to other children at the playground and to their sibling etc.
Do we remember to be nice to others as well?
This is just a reminder to also "parent" ourselves. Take a lesson from what you're teaching the children.
If there's any political hill to die on, it's fighting to see abortion abolished.
I hope today marks a turning of the tide, but until pro-abortionists have transformed hearts, I'm not confident change will last.
I pray change lasts, but it will take an act of God. Pray!
Those off-the-cuff moments can be the most precious.
.
The random conversations can help break ice and enhance closeness.
.
Also, you learn so much more about each other. All this in the informal atmosphere of a short walk.
.
Do it often and unlock levels to your relationship.
