Parenting with Humility...We often realize that we learn as
much from our children as they learn from us. So why don’t parents
approach the task of child-rearing as a learning experience, rather
than a mandate to make sure their kids succeed in life?
To reduce the pressure and enjoy greater closeness in your
family, turn your parenting upside-down by allowing God to use your
children to help you grow up. Imagine what would happen if you
began to prize what you’re being taught by your children’s quirks,
failures, and normal childhood dilemmas, rather than worrying about
whether you’re doing everything right as a parent. Now you can let
go of the pressure to make sure your children succeed, and instead
learn to grow into spiritual maturity by listening to your
children.
