Parental Priorities?

First off parental responsibilities are numerous. Setting the top priorities is very important and difficult.


If I was to list the top print it would go something like this:


1 You proving that your child or children are so very especial to you is HUGE! That means that you prove that in words, with physical assurance (hugs-Kisses, etc), and LOTS of actions over the years.

There will be times that you will struggle, be upset, be greatly disappointed with your children but make sure that love is always there and always dominate. That will mean that they will probably hurt you and disappoint you greatly but you never loose the proof that you want what is best for them. Yes, you can take strong actions that you hope will correct them but there maybe times that your strong actions do not change them. Then you will still be working to do what so best for them even though you are suffering.

2 Not only teach them but show them with your life that you are taking God’s ways very seriously. When you fail then admit the failure and get back up and strive to please God.

It may not all sink into them in their teens (The me, me, me, years) but parents being patient and holding on to faith is the hard part. My children, now that they are grown, quote me things that we did and said that relate to God’s ways often. I thought that they did not notice or did not care in their teens but now they tell me things that give them strength that I forgot about years ago.

3 Of course almost very parent pays attention to giving heir chidden the best education and all the other things that will give them a boost in their careers and other areas of their lives that education and opportunity allow.

As important as number 3 is above, the first two are the absolute foundation and the rest of the priories that come afterwards will not be able to make life as full without the first two. IMO


That is what I see off the top of my head as parental priorities. I may have missed something so if you all have some impute please do so.
