Thoughts for the Day


How consistent is your communication with your children? No matter what their ages, keeping the doors of communication open is vital. Two-way communication. The Bible cautions us to listen before we answer. Talking and listening. Communication with your child needs to be age specific. Try to avoid detailed explanations to simple questions. Be at eye level with your children as you communicate, especially as they grow older. Use a consistent, even tone of voice. Avoid communication when you are angry or frustrated.

Consider This . . .

Communication takes time, something most of us lack. But communicating with our children should have a high priority in our lives. Healthy families talk to each other a great deal, and they listen. You can begin developing more family communication by planning at least three evening meals per week with all family members present. Schedule regular quality time with each child individually. Talk to your children, share your heart with them and listen, really listen.
