This is the final installment of tips to parents from parents at EBC. I hope these posts have been helpful!
1) If you are rarely overwhelmed by the enormous responsibility it is to care for a human soul, you need to examine yourself.
2) Encourage any child's action that demonstrates effort in a positive direction.
3) The importance of "being there" for your children and demonstrating to them that they are important. Don't just teach them about God but help them connect with the Lord in a way that truly gets them to open their hearts to the Lord. Also ask them about what is going on in their lives and listen to what they have to say we jump in with suggestions. Every child is unique. Bring a child with you as you live your life. They will pick up what matters most to you.
4) Say "yes" whenever you can, and "no" only when you must.
5) Know when to pick you battles. This helps you determine priorities of what is important and what really doesn't matter all that much.
6) And last of all, do trust in God for all things, and do not lean on your own understanding.
