Day 40 - Encouraging Responsibility

Parenting Children Ages 0-10

Training our children for healthy independence
• we don't own our children
• we are helping our children move from parental control to self-control
• letting them go can be hard for parents
• a gradual process over eighteen years
• allow them to make their own decisions and learn from their own mistakes
• unhealthy control can be caused by wanting to look good, fear of failure, stress, or perfectionism

Question:
How can you allow your children to learn from their mistakes while still protecting them sufficiently?

  • worth checking our attitude – is it willing or resentful when we do things for our child(ren)?
  • good to allow our children to express love through attempting kind, helpful actions

How can you serve your child this week, expecting nothing in return?
