So I am taking a new class at church called Value Packed Parenting. We had our first class yesterday and so far I really seem to like it. We discussed the 10 gifts you can give your children and I really agree with this list.
- Give them safety and security
- Give them love
- Give them attention
- Give them space
- Give them an example
- Give them direction
- Give them boundaries
- Give them responsibility
- Give them discipline
- Give them biblical instruction
All from the book Value Packed Parenting by Dr. Kevin Leman
I am really looking forward to the next 6 sessions because I really want to hone my parenting skills and be the best parent I can be. They told us to start with the end in mind. How do we want our children to be? I always think about this and sometimes I second guess "what if I do all of this and provide her with the best of the best and she still takes the wrong road in life?" I guess this is just something I have to wait out (which is totally hard for a control freak). I am praying everyday that she turns out to be a good and happy person.
