Bible Note: I like the christian slant as reflected in most of Dr. James Dobson's books. He and his staff have some very practical and Bible based strategies for dealing with today's kids in a very, very difficult world. My two boys are grown now and on their own but we had our struggles. The single bit of advice that I would offer is the tremendous strength that comes from a united couple, husband and wife, father and mother. They must be united first of all with alligence to the same God and worship together in the same precious faith. Second, they must agree to appear completely united in front of their kids and disagree in love and out of earshot of those kids. Finally, never stop praying and seeking after God's advice from His Word AND His earthly appointed spiritual leaders, the elders in your church. It pays to show your spouse and your kids that you have an open mind AND an open heart. It does wonders when you mess up and make a mistake with your kids, for you as a parent to make a sincere apology to that child. That's all I can think of at this moment. God bless. |
