If your child makes a wrong choice that results in sin, he will feel guilt and perhaps fear that you might withdraw from him in rejection. Sin, shame, and embarrassment all make it difficult to truly connect with your child, but in spite of the difficulty, he needs to see, feel, and know your love, grace and forgiveness.

Tips on dealing
with sibling rivalry:
*Clearly spell out the boundaries and limits. No hitting. No saying “I hate
you.” No bossing each other around. And no cut-downs. Establish non-negotiable
penalties for stepping over the limit.
*Have your children memorize Romans 12:10, 17.
*Don’t fuel your kids’ competitive spirit by comparing them with each other, by
playing favorites, or by constantly putting them in situations where they have
to compete against each other.
*Pray for your children. Ask God to make them best friends. *Pray that He will
divinely engineer situations where they have to look out for each other, and
applaud them when they do.

effective parenting is to “begin with the end in mind”—by developing a vision
