About Parenting
Never Enough Time
Time management and priority management should be mandatory courses for high school graduation. Kids today are suffering from sensory overload. Hours upon hours are spent on Facebook, the cell phone, or the hottest $50 video game. The deception is that since they were so “busy,” they actually think they were doing something productive. And, let’s face it; adults are often just as guilty of it. Stop saying: I don’t have the time, or I’m so busy. News flash: All you really have is time. After waking up you have, on average, about 16 hours before you hit the sack. Don’t get caught up in the allures of the world. Put your foot down and simplify. Your kids are watching you, needing your backup in the battle for Christian simplicity.

Bite Your Tongue
Train your children to use their tongues in ways that glorify God. The first and foremost method in achieving this worthy end, you ask? Simple – teach by example. Show me a boy who curses and I’ll bet he heard those words from dear old Dad when the team lost the football game in the final two minutes. Show me a girl who gossips about her friends, and I’ll bet my bottom dollar she’s witnessed Mom and Aunt Susie sharing a cup of coffee while gossiping about the neighbor, the annoying cousin, and the Jones’ marital problems.
