The more our children look to us for answers, usually the better the relationship is, and the greater the family harmony is, and the joy and the happiness in the family. So I always taught my children there’s absolutely nothing off limits. No question, anything, you can ask me any question you want on any subject, and I will answer it as honestly and as fairly as I can. Whoa! Trust me, you do that, you gonna get some interesting questions, especially from teenagers.
You know, if you want to impact your kids with values, with truth, then you not only need a relationship — you need to be upfront with them. And here’s my philosophy: always look for opportunities. Every little opportunity something is said or done that you can step in and address the issue and step back. Especially in taboos in society
To be a hero to your kids, you need to try to be always the source of their information. Where they learn it from you before they learn it from anyone else so they always look to you. And explain issues that are wrong, but why they are wrong.
If we’re going to be a hero to our children, if they’re going to look up to us, then we need to teach them Biblical truth—but in a way that they understand it and that’s interesting to them.
It’s very important that our children understand love, what it means to love and all. And one of the things I’ve struggled with my children is my three daughters and my son would grow up, how do they know if they’re in love?
One of the most important things I can do for my children is to love their mother. But I always try and find out from my kids what does love mean to them?
One of the greatest pieces of wisdom anyone has ever given me was when Dottie said this “If you spend time with your children now, they’ll spend time with you later.”
