Acceptance is to receive, approve, and believe in your child.
For many reasons, it sometimes feels hard to fully accept our child. We think acceptance means letting our kids behave however they want.
But instead think of it like this: How does God accept you?
He fully loves and accepts the way He made you while calling you to be your best. This is the same acceptance our kids need from us. Loving them where they are at but calling them higher – with love as their foundation.
Here are three simple ways to help you accept your child:
1. Understand your child – listen to them first instead of lecturing. Try and see things from their perspective.
2. Believe the best about your child – see the greatness in them instead of their issues.
3. Appreciate the uniqueness about your child – see and tell your child about their unique + amazing abilities given to them by God.
So, how do you accept your child? Like God does!
