Childrearing 101
Children do not come with an instruction manual. Every first time parent gets hit with the reality, “Now what do I do?” Raising children is a joy, but it is not easy. Today’s parents are faced with even more challenges, as “screen time,” social media, and school safety have become serious concerns.
The Word of God has some great advice and directions on growing a family. The promise of Proverbs is that if you do these things, you provide a foundation for your adult, fully grown children to return to when they need it.
So here are a few tips from Scripture:
Dedicate your children (and yourself) to the Lord (1 Samuel 1:27-28).
Love them (Titus 2:4).
Provide for them (2 Corinthians 12:14).
Teach them how to obey (1 Timothy 3:4).
Discipline them appropriately (Hebrews 12:6).
Don’t frustrate your kids unnecessarily (Ephesians 6:4).
