FamilyLife.com's Parenting Tip for 06/26/2007 When you are in a standoff with your child about a particular issue, consider asking yourself the following four questions: 1. Have I prayed about this issue and asked God for wisdom in how to handle it? 2. Are we in agreement as a couple? God will often use your spouse to balance you in an area where you might be extreme. 3. Is the issue a clear matter of right and wrong, or is it a preference? If the issue is something in which your child is clearly wrong, then you know what you need to do. But if its in the gray area, go slow before drawing your sword. 4. Is the issue really worth its cost? Try not to make marginal issues too large.

Teach your child to fear God by teaching him who He really is. He is truth. Love. Holy. Sovereign. Omnipotent. Omnipresent. And more. As our children see us practicing the presence of God in our lives, they too will grow in the understanding that God sees all and that He is to be feared.
