Raising kids in today's culture is not easy. There's no question that the way we parent is influenced by the world we live in. And what a world it is! We need to help our children deal with drugs, sexuality, media, the Internet, gaming, peer pressure, and the list goes on. Our goal as parents is to raise our kids in this X-rated culture to become G-rated people. Here's how:
1. Instill belief in them.
The beliefs and values your children will carry into adulthood are very dependent on the examples they see parents setting at home. It's critical to understand that your actions, values, and beliefs will have the greatest influence in the life of your maturing child.
2. Be present in your kids' lives.
Presence in a kid's life is spelled T-I-M-E. One of the major contributing factors for healthy kids points back to parents who were present in those kids' lives.
3. Make memories with them.
Our lives are a museum of memories that contribute to who we are today. That's why it's key to strive to create good memories for our kids. Good kids have good memories.
4. Give them encouragement.
Encouragement is food for our souls and we all long for it. Our kids need it, too. Words are powerful. Words can either build confidence or destroy. A parent's words have lasting effect.
5. Be positive and caring role models.
You are your children's role model for living life. Be assured that they are watching you. Kids need you to set a positive and caring standard for living life and to set the pace when it comes to faith.
6. Give them discipline and boundaries.
Providing your kids with consistent boundaries and discipline is all about guidance, not punishment. Establishing boundaries and discipline are signs of love.
7. Give them affection.
Emotionally healthy kids have been given lots of proper affection. If you aren't an affectionate parent, get over it! Learn to become one. It's that important to the health of your child!
8. Develop responsibility in them.
Responsibility is formed in teens when parents avoid rescuing kids from their problems. Sure, there are times that we need to lend a hand and help out, but these times are, in reality, few and far between. Learning from mistakes is a great path to responsibility and wisdom.
9. Be fun.
This generation of kids is totally stressed out. So, when kids see their parents injecting fun and laughter into life, it helps relieve some of the anxieties they feel.
10. Give them a peaceful home.
Kids are at battle all day long. They're battling an X-rated culture and language and values. They're battling bullies and peer pressure and body image and conforming. They need to come home to a place where they can retreat where they can just be themselves. Your home ought to be the one place your kids feel truly safe.
