Parenting with Purpose Series (LHM): Part 2

INTRODUCTION

If there’s one thing we know for sure it’s that parenting isn’t easy. There is no “easy-as-1-2-3” recipe and certainly no “one- size-fits-all” solution. Yet raising your children is undoubtedly the most important thing you will ever do and wise parenting does not happen by accident, you need to work at it.

Like building a house that will last for years, parenting can be tackled with an overall plan in mind, with things you want to make sure are part of the very foundation … the purpose behind what you do, when you do it, and why you do it … the threads

that weave everything together. These threads are the general principles you value, mold, shape, and hold onto—the very things that make your family strong.

This booklet focuses on six of these threads to weave into the fabric of your family:

1. Commitment
2. Time Spent Together
3. Communication
4. Appreciation
5. Crisis Management
6. A Faith Foundation

As you read through the very practical strategies outlined in these principles, keep one thing in mind: No one is perfect, except God. He has given you the gift of your children and He will be there to help you through the terrible and the wonderful, the ugly and the beautiful, the terrifying and the exhilarating. Step by step … little by little … one day at a time.
