When a child is born, parents called a miracle. Nobody can ever put in plain words how much parents love their children. At times, parents became exhausted, overwhelmed, or committed to learning how to be good enough for their children. Parents are not in control of everything. Parents should decide to be proactive though they are not equipped with everything they needed, they lack the answers to their questions, but parents are ready to face everything. Parents model integrity and prepare their hearts to understand parenthood. Parents can redeem and rebuild their inner selves and decide to be positively proactive individuals.
Decide to Have a Plan
Parents should help their children discover the key traits in life. Parents should decide to have a plan. Teach the children to plan for better living through the three main areas being a learner, a leader, and loving God.
Decide to Be Consistent
Some of the hardest children to parent are the rebellious ones. Rebellious children need to know you are tough enough to discipline them. The parents have to make a tough call: decide to be consistent. The consistency in discipline is a calm reassurance. However, correct a child in control; no punishment or correction or discipline should ever be given in anger.
Decide Character Counts
In a society, some things are fast going downhill that affect the children such as drug used increases, suicide, and sexually transmitted diseases. Particularly, suicide is the leading cause of death among children and teenagers. Parents need to decide that character counts, and strong inner moral help children to face the world.
Decide to Be Creative
Some parents lack the patience to discipline a stubborn and demanding child. Do not allow yourself to fall into the trap of thinking you are perfect parents. Instead, decide to be creative and find the strong-willed treasures, your children. Remember that humility is a virtue. Patient parenting produces a prize, never give up your children.
Be a Student with Your Child
Parents are more effective when they learn to adapt and meet the needs of their children. Parents should decide to be a student with their children. Learn from your children through understanding gender differences, personalities, talents, and learning styles. Every child is unique.
Decide to Partner with God
A universal saying goes, “A family that prays together, stays together.” Parents should decide to partner with God in nurturing their children. Parents who remained strong in times of crisis have a strong faith in God and belief in the power of prayer. Always remind your children to always keep the faith.
Decide to Build a Network
Despite the best effort, sometimes things do not turn out the way you expected it to happen. Parents should decide to build a network and use the unique ideas to motivate children to have a balanced life. Parents need to rescue many hearts on the verge of rebellion. Choose to network with God and let children understand that God is the center of everything.
Decide to Trust
When parents overprotect their children, they cripple the development of their children. Parents should decide to trust their children and see the things most parents desire; moral, responsible, and independent children. Help the children learn the essence of the treasure of trust. Remember that trust begets trust.
Decide to Celebrate
The journey of a child depends on how parents nurture them. Parents should decide to celebrate the result of their labor, their children’s journey of life. Every child is precious to their parents and God designed them to be.
