Teaching
Honor to Kids
Honor
changes kids, but sometimes it's hard to communicate its importance
to children. One way that you can teach honor is by modeling
it as you extend hospitality to others.
We live
in a compartmentalized society. Many of the entertainment
options today decrease interaction between people and leave
them feeling lonely. It's an honor to be invited over for
dinner or for an evening of games and activities.
Opening
your home is an excellent way to extend grace and honor to
others and it's good for your kids. Talk with your children
about who you're going to invite and why. Plan the evening
together and talk about how you'll treat your guests as special.
Afterwards, talk about how things went and emphasize the positive
things that happened and how you all worked together to show
honor to others.
So, who
can you invite over this week? Not only will you bless others,
but also you'll be blessed yourself. And, your kids are always
watching and learning.
This
parenting tip is taken from the book, "Say
Goodbye to Whining, Complaining, and Bad Attitudes, In You
and Your Kids."
