Parenting in the Faith

In the last few generations a problem has come up of parents being involved in their [KS1]children’s lives in means of discipline, communication, and most importantly teaching of faith. It is something that has been shied away from and must be dealt with more seriously. There are many different ways of dealing with certain children; the most important aspect is that all training and teaching must be found through Gods scripture. It is a necessity for parents to be involved in their children’s lives.

Discipline is instrumental for parents. Discipline is not a harsh concept. Some feel that they will be hurting their children or be horrible parents if they discipline. This is not true, rather it is done out of love for your children. Discipline is a board topic, every parent disciplines in a different way, but it says in Hebrews to discipline with both words and actions, therefore for children to learn from their mistakes or troubles they first need warnings and then penalties. (Five) If you start when they are young and teach them clearly right from wrong it will help them a lot in the long run. Without discipline for something a child or teenager has done, they will be confused from what is right and wrong. It can happen where teenagers teach themselves that something is right after a while if they don’t get told it is not, for example, going to wild parties. A parents duty or responsibility is to love, teach, provide for their children and much more. If there is not discipline involved love is not shown in many ways, also teaching cannot be done properly without warning and penalties which come back again to the act of discipline. So over all it is an act that must be down out of love for their children and must come from and be based upon God’s Word.

Families must communicate and interact with each other. As parents they must build a relationship with their children and let them know that they are there for them. They can give their children the comfort that they can go to their parents with anything. Many children have a hard time coming to their parents with their problems and instead they go to their friends. This isn’t wrong, for friends are important to talk to but children need the advice and support from those with experience and who know them well. When children talk to their parents about important matters, such as faith and what is going on in their life, it takes away some of their confusion and may make them feel more comfortable and happy to have a family to come home to. Teenagers may not always want to discuss but through discipline or during a good time, there is always a way to get through to them. They can’t do it by themselves for self-fulfillment doesn’t work for children they need a positive support constantly.(parent) This does not mean always making them feel great about themselves but great about the faith and what they have been blessed with. There is many ways to interact, whether sitting in the living room on Sundays, having a longer dinner to discuss, going out with your children, and there are many more ways[KS2], although everyone may do it differently there are ways that should work great for every family. They need to be taught and disciplined b[KS3]ut also need to know the importance of family relationships and this is done through interaction.

As Christians our households must be based on a foundation of faith. All of what has been said must be based on the Word, for help with discipline or with communication you must call upon God and study his word for answers. Parents must teach their children about the faith and ways to fight the devil so that they can stand alone in the world and fight for their faith and stay on the right path. Teenagers fall into peer pressure or go through rebelling stages, but if you start with teaching them and discussing faith and rules with them as they are young they won’t even want to fall into worldly actions. In Deuteronomy 5:16 it says “Honour your Father and mother as the Lord your God commanded you, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.” Hearing these words gives you the picture that if when children honour their parents they will be with God forever. There is more to this, this takes the part of the parents to help their kids on the race of serving God and looking forward to the finish of eternal life. Guidance and support of parents will help them, you can’t do it all for them but to lead the household in a strong faith will set the foundation for their independent life. In Proverbs 1: 8-9 “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.” This verse give a great example of how it is the parent’s duty for the mother is to teach and the father must instruct for with that you are your children’s protection and support. With the foundation of faith in Christ and with the bible you are caring for your children out of love to live with your father eternally.

Therefore parenting is based on a Christian home that deals with the factors of discipline, training, love, support, and teaching. All of these things will help your children fulfill their life plans and also fight the Good fight of faith and be a great part in the body of Christ. We are all children of God our Father and we must help one another fight the devil during our life on earth.
