A reminder for Christian Parents

We need to make sure that our children develop a good relationship with God so that they can achieve their potential. We want them to glorify God as we help them to unlock their treasures. With God, they will go far and bring glory to His name. For example, Daniel and his friends excelled in a foreign land because of their commitment to God and His principles. They honoured God; He promoted them and brought them before kings. It is important to teach our children the word of God; we can’t just depend on the youth leaders or children’s church teachers. It is going to take the anointing of God for our children to shine and bring glory to God.

Kind regards.

Disciplining Children (2)

One good way for our children to learn self-discipline is when we give them limited choice and let them live with the consequences of what they choose. There will be times when you cannot let them choose, for example, when you consider something is dangerous for them. When you have to say no, it is important to state the reason. It is also important not to be half-hearted or apologetic when you give children a limited choice. Follow through with the consequences. Most of us do not follow through with the consequences; this is why they don’t take us seriously.  Your firmness in following through on the consequences is much more effective than talking.  Firmness is not cold, it is kind and strong, gentle and firm, flowing out of your desire for what is best for the child.

It is against the law in the UK for a parent to use physical punishment on their child that causes marks and it is illegal to use an implement to hit a child.  It is also against the law for someone who is not the child's parent (such as a child minder or foster carer) to use any form of physical punishment.
