Words on parenting

Parenting is one of the most difficult tasks for a man and a woman having a family. The early years of parenting is exciting until a child reaches his or her teen years, then problems begin to pile up. But then, parenting should not be as frustrating only when we really learn and give time to our kids as we teach them the lessons in life. When we invest in our children time and effort, it would not be for long that we see the results pay off.

Here are some simple words that may help, as we parents help our children grow and straighten up their life - TEACH your kids:

T - Train up a child in the ways of the Lord.
E - Encourage them to live Godly lives. Be a good example as parents.
A - Assure your love and support for your children equally. Show them your affection.
C - Chasten your children accordingly, not unreasonably. Correct them as God corrects His children.
H - Host your home as sanctuary for your children. Not as hostile battlefield.

God bless.
