Talking with your children in an honest way sets a pattern for them to be honest. Learning about yourself also helps you understand what your children need to know. It helps you to understand how you need to approach them. There are scores of books for new parents and parents of toddlers, but none of these will prepare you for communicating with your child about peer pressure, sex, drugs, violence, and death. Perhaps the biggest obstacle we face as parents is the fear of making a mistake.
Mistakes are inevitable.
Turning those mistakes into powerful learning opportunities is the sign of a caring parent. God's love and forgiveness in Jesus gives parents and children the power to love and forgive each other through this challenging phase of life. Jesus wraps His loving arms around you both every day.
