今日金句分享：
「當孝敬父母，使你得福，在世長壽。這是第一條帶應許的誡命。 作兒女的，你們要在主裏聽從父母，這是理所當然的。
作父親的，你們不要激怒兒女，但要照着主的教導和勸戒養育他們。」
‭‭（以弗所書‬ ‭6:1-4‬ ‭）
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
‭‭（Ephesians‬ ‭6:1-4‬ ‭）
親愛的天父，感謝祢賜我們父母，求祢賜他們安康，又教我們懂得「百行以孝為先」，讓我們關懷和滿足父母的身心靈的需要！天父啊，又求祢教我們作父母的，用愛和真理教養孩子，教導他們走應行的路，讓子女們到老都不偏離。不要縱容孩子，也不要寄予不合理的過高期望，以免滅他們的志氣！
奉主耶穌基督聖名祈禱，阿們！🌹🙏

Just sharing some practical Christian parenting tips tonight!

1) Praise good behavior enthusiastically and patiently correct them when they make mistakes.
Be very considerate to their feelings because the small things (in our perspective) mean a lot to them.
Don’t be unnecessarily harsh which risks crushing their spirit (a healthy esteem and outlook on life).

“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger [do not exasperate them to the point of resentment with demands that are trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by showing favoritism or indifference to any of them], but bring them up [tenderly, with lovingkindness] in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” ‭‭(EPHESIANS‬ ‭6:4‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

2) When letting your children watch shows online, watch it together with them and quickly switch any inappropriate content away.
Don’t let them see explicit content and be traumatized because of your negligence.
It’s not just about you feeding on God’s word while their minds are being defenselessly assaulted by the terrors of this world.
Just as much as you guard your heart from evil, guard your children’s eyes and ears from evil too.
What you believe reproduces in your life so safeguard your little ones’ hearts.

“Moses said, “We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Yahweh.” He said to them, “Yahweh be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces. Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Yahweh; for that is what you desire!” They were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.” ‭‭(Exodus‬ ‭10:9-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

3) For children above 3 years old (no exact age—just be guided by the Holy Spirit) cane once on the backside if they act stubbornly in rebellion and refuse to repent from error.
It should hurt but not injure them—just an unpleasant experience to link rebellion with pain.
You are not supposed to enjoy the process. Use this type of discipline when you are calm and not overcome by anger. This is not a time for you to vent your frustration.
Do it because God’s word says it’s necessary, and trust that their stubbornness will be corrected from young and not have worse repercussions in their adulthood.

“Do not withhold discipline from the child; If you swat him with a reed-like rod [applied with godly wisdom], he will not die. You shall swat him with the reed-like rod And rescue his life from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭23:13-14‬ AMP)
