To parent your Child

http://feedgrids.com/originals/images/uploads_post/image1.jpg
I’ve always wondered if parents carry any responsibility for how their children turn out in life. Well lately, there has been research done on parenting styles. Four basic parenting styles are identified: uninvolved, indulgent, authoritarian, and authoritative.

Uninvolved are the one’s who does not respond to his children and demand something little from them. Children get into trouble in their early years and perform poorly in life. They also have low self-esteem and high level in depression and substance abuse. This parenting style opens doors for other to set rules in their child life.

Indulgent are high responsive to the need’s of their children but are not demanding. The children also get into trouble in their early life and perform poorly in school. However, these children have a better social life, higher self-esteem. These children say that they high too much money and have nothing to do, another words, bored.

Authoritarian parents demand lot’s from their children, but respond little to the need’s of their child. These children avoid trouble in school and have social impairment skills, but have low self-esteem and higher rate in depression.

And the last paring style is the best, authoritative, well the best outcome from the three above. The parents are high in response and demand from their children. These parents teach from example. Emotional and psychological autonomy are valued. Another words, these parents are careful in how they discipline their children and children accept their authority.

Thus, parents carry huge responsibility when it comes down to parenting. However, this leaves a door for a question, where would parents get the resource to parent their child? To whom will they turn for help? How would a parent know what to say and what to do? What direction does the child need to be point too?

This is where the book of Proverbs become a great resource as it starts with these words:
"Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck" (1:8-9)

Both father and the mother teach and instruct the child, otherwise this child's future is who knows what.

Lock Him up with the Bible & the Books

"Fling him into his office. Tear the 'Office' sign from the door and nail on the sign, 'Study.' Take him off the mailing list. Lock him up with his books and his typewriter and his Bible. Slam him down on his knees before texts and broken hearts and the flock of lives of a superficial flock and a holy God.  Force him to be the one man in our surfeited communities who knows about God. Throw him into the ring to box with God until he learns how short his arms are. Engage him to wrestle with God all the night through. And let him come out only when he's bruised and beaten into being a blessing.  Shut his mouth forever spouting remarks, and stop his tongue forever tripping lightly over every nonessential. Require him to have something to say before he dares break the silence. Bend his knees in the lonesome valley.  Burn his eyes with weary study. Wreck his emotional poise with worry for God. And make him exchange his pious stance for a humble walk with God a...

Everyone has an opinion on everything.  Even to say that I don't want to talk about this, says that their is already an opinion why not to talk about this.  Recently I had to answer some hard questions for myself, the questions that I haven't been faced before in my life, it just never needed to be answered.  I know there are more questions that I would have to answer in the future, but that time will come.  So an opinion is good, not unless it is being taken in a demanded form: this is the only way to do this, no other way is the right way. To demand something and ask it to be done, is possible—but it depends on authority that a person possess. Now biblically the authority only in the truth, no authority is in men—that's where the scripture is being tossed around to bash on those who has a different point of view.  If I don't like something, it doesn't mean that I am right and the other person is wrong, it might be the...

THE GIFT OF TONGUES AND TODAY’S MOVEMENT

https://www.wikihow.com/Receive-the-Holy-Spirit-as-per-the-Bible INTRODUCTION A minister at Kids Adventure Camp called a girl to the front because she claimed to have the gift of tongues. About 33 percent of the Pentecostals in the U.S. claim to speak in tongues.   One in 4 Christians identify to be Pentecostals in the States.  The girl ’s  name was Eden.  “Eden,  6 years old, interpreting a word of  tongues.”  The minister, whose name is not given, called her because she had picked a  “spiritual gift”  as a tongue of interpreter in the camp. Since then, her family had been praying for Eden to have this gift that she chose. The minister had confessed that he himself did not have this gift of interpretation. After a small discussion, someone from the crowd prayed in tongues and Eden claimed to know the meaning of that prayer. Eden, who wore a black dress with a pink prize award on her left shoulder, throughout the video picked ...
