What Do Kids Need To Succeed?

Wednesday,August 5th, 2009

Our show today was full of good information but the best of it came from our callers.

 

Eugene shared that the most important thing he did in raising his successful children was to play with them abundantly. The time taken to spend engaging time with his kids gave opportunities for them to “catch” fairness and gentleness values. It also kept him connected with his children and the days of their lives.

 

Joanne shared that love plays a huge part in growing successful kids. We have to love them unconditionally and remind them regularly how special they are.

 

Hilda shared that while play and love are important–there is a component that comes from scripture: we are to train-up our children in the way they should go. We need to teach them morals and values through our play and love. Every lesson can be a parable–every Bible story an applied lesson for our kids. We must hold them accountable to the truths that we teach them.

 

Gloria reminded us that church and a sense of community is very important to the success of our children. The sense of community that is felt when we belong to a body of believers is an integral part of supporting our children. Add into that the most important support–prayer and family devotions and you have a recipe for success for any child.

 

Thank you for calling in today. Rose and I pray that you are blessed with the true success that comes from a living relationship with God. Not only will you be successful but your children will be as well.

 

God bless!
