God the father is our role model as a parent.
As a parent we should try to guide our children not to give in to temptation.
Lk 2:52 Help our kids grow in wisdom, stature, and favor with Good and men. We should have a target/goal for raising our kids. Hag 1:5, 7 Give careful thought to your ways.
Parent by planning - the idea is to help our kids become Godly adults, to prepare them to love someone else more than us. Prov 24:3 Asking the right questions helps you come to the right conclusions.
-When they are 35 years old, what do I want my kids to be like?
-What do I want them to do?
-What do I want them to know?
Godly characteristics should be taught all along.
i.e. Financial: Earn money for chores. $1.00 - 10 cents tithe, 10 cents savings, 10 cents tax. No impulse buys, no loans.
Teach them how to be an adult, practice.
*I must BE the person that I want my children to BECOME.
