    Never take things for granted.

    FLEXIBILITY

    Each of our children is unique. Some like lots of activities; others prefer time alone. Some are compliant; others constantly test the limits. Some have thick skins; others are easily offended. And each child will change over the years. As a result our parenting approach depends on knowing each child and responding according to his unique personality.

    For the undisciplined or rebellious child, admonishment is needed. You will be challenged to deliver consequences consistently and empathetically.

    For the discouraged child who is tempted to withdraw, comfort and encouragement are necessary. Learn to listen to their concerns and reflect their feelings back to them as you communicate confidence in their abilities.

    A weak child needs help. Maybe he tends toward adherence to "the rules" without understanding there are principles behind the rules. Spiritual wisdom can be passed along by helping the child explore the reasons for his actions.

    Regardless of the personality type, God asks us to be patient. God wants us to "know" each child and adapt our parenting style to each particular personality.

    And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
    1 Thessalonians 5:14 NIV

    Hey guys. Been gone too long.

    Glad this thread is still going. There are probably plenty of people who take strength in it but never comment.

    If you resent your chains, you are half-free.



    You’re not free if you drag your chains after you.

    Wise men change their minds, fools never.
