I'm not a parent, but for my college assignment, I would like to know from the perspective of christian parents if their children have faced any challenges when the lockdowns were prevalent (such as socioemotional regression, loneliness, lack of social contact with their peers), etc and how it...

Thanks for the advice everyone

As I'm sure we're all aware, there are a ton of crap parents out there. A lot of people who treat their kids like trash or abandon them. As Christians, especially as Christians who have parents like that, how do we follow the Lord's commandment to honor our father and mother? What does it mean...

I ask this because there is so much which transpires within the Christian realm, at church and in the Christian home, which motivates me to ask this question. In the church we see parents and spouses propagating and manipulating circumstances to ensure that their children or spouse, however...

Our role as parents is to teach the Bible to our children diligently and accurately. The Bible says that if you follow the false philosophies of your father/forefathers, you will commit their same actions and inherit unknown sin, called iniquity. This is how a father passes on iniquity to his...

I searched and searched for this topic, but I couldn't find anything that really answered my question, so here it is. I've been researching witchcraft and Wicca a great deal lately. (Blame Covid and boredom.) What has surprised me is how many witches and Wiccans came from Christian...

Hello, There is a new app that many parents may be interested in. It detects Sexting and inappropriate content on a kid's phone or tablet. An alert and a copy of the inappropriate picture is then sent to the parent’s phone when sexting, inappropriate content or NSFW images are detected. The app is installed on both the parent's...

My wife couldn't find any good Bible story podcasts for Christian parents to help their kids get to sleep so she made her own. Also available on Spotify - link in the description:

Short story: my son “Jay” molested my step-son “Bill” (the incident happens twice and there was no penetration) at the time he was 11, and 7. This occurred about 4 years ago, he’s been in therapy (he’s had difficulties along the way but more so about behavior than acting out sexually) recently...

My daughter has always been very into Jesus, rereading the Bible, going to church every week, but all of the sudden she has stopped. I am worried people at her school are having effects on her. She has been watching evil stuff like American horror story and such. She talks about a ‘Shane...

Both my husband & I are 24 years old, devout Christians, married with two beautiful kids. We are very active within our church ministries in both the youth department & Praise & worship & music ministry. We have a little boy, who is in school, and a six month old baby girl. Shortly after her...

We’re standing by the murky waters of a place we call the frog pond when I tell him. I tell him not to step into the water. It’s sulfurous black swamp mud, and he’s wearing white socks under his sandals, upon his own insistence. It has something to do with the cut on his foot that mysteriously...

Hi, I'm new here and wanted to find some input on how to handle a situation I find myself in, with my husband (of 18 years). I apologize this is lengthy... I'm a non-denominational evangelical Christian and my husband is a traditional (SSPX) Roman Catholic. When we got married, he wasn't...

I was just reading through a different thread talking about the mass exodus of millennials from the church, and I didn't want to take the topic off subject, so here is a brand new question: Why should they stay? and not just millennials but anyone, what are they gaining from the church? I...

I need advice. I recently read a note my 12 year old wrote saying she is bisexual. I was in complete shock. She has always been super boy crazy but also tends to idolize people/girls and has always become obsessed with things easily (actors, animals, topics, etc). Slightly OCD I think. Anyway...
