FamilyLife.com's Parenting Tip for 10/16/2007 Parents' outward appearances are a statement of their character and values as men or women. Parents, especially mothers, need to be careful. Children are watching what we wear, how we act, and how we present our body. Evaluate your outward appearance by asking yourself, "Does my clothing and outward appearance adequately reflect my relationship with Christ? Am I setting a good example of Christian character for my children? Am I cultivating my inner person so that my children will see what's really important in my life?"

FamilyLife.com's Parenting Tip for 10/14/2007 Pray regularly with your child. Hint: Two of the best times to pray with your child are on the way to school (assuming you drive him) and at bedtime - regardless of age. Pray with him for his future mate, relationships, activities, challenges, temptations and a heart for God. Don't assume that even a teenager is too big for you to kneel beside his bed and stroke his face and pray.
