Take a moment to listen today
To what your children are trying to say
Listen today, whatever you do
Or they won't be there to listen to you.
Listen to the Children
Take a moment to listen today
To what your children are trying to say
Listen today, whatever you do
Or they won't be there to listen to you.
Listen to their problems
Listen for their needs.
Praise their smallest triumphs
Praise their smallest deeds.
Tolerate their chatter
Amplify their laughter.
Find out what's the matter
Find out what they're after.
But tell them that you love them
Every single night
And though you scold them
Make sure you hold them
And tell them "Everything's all right;
Tomorrow's looking bright!"
Take a moment to listen today
To what your children are trying to say.
Listen today, whatever you do
And they will come back to listen to you!

4. I will give my children freedom and privacy and teach them the proper use of both.

Children need to feel comfortable discussing spiritual issues. It's important for them to understand that your reason for sharing is because you love and care for them. The biggest mistake adults make is over-complicating the Gospel. Remember to think like children. Speak their language.
