The Bible encourages parents to take time to communicate with their children. Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. And you must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your vital force. Yes, those of us who are parents need to take the initiative in spending time with our family if we are to inculcate God's words in the children's minds and hearts. True Christians realize that proper religious instruction at home protects youths from such things as substance abuse, emotional distress, suicide, violence, and so forth.
Some parents feel that it is hard to find time for their family.
Especially is this so of single mothers, who would gladly spend time with their children but who must work secularly. Such time spent together would provide opportunity to become closer to one another. At first, involving your children may take more time. Soon, though, you will find it enjoyable and even time saving. You may be a father with a full list of things to do on weekends.
