What if your child doesn't share your interests or personality?
What if you love sports but your child is an artistic introvert?
Or you thrive outdoors, but they prefer inside?
Here's the key: Celebrate the unique way God made your child instead of imposing your own preferences.
We're talking preferences here, not godly beliefs.
You may love football, your child baseball.
As a Christian parent, give your own preferences to God.
Preferences differ from godly beliefs.
Godly beliefs reflect how God calls us to live and become - kind, compassionate (Eph 4:32).
Encourage these character traits no matter your child's personality.
With preferences, draw out your child's God-given uniqueness.
With godly beliefs, inspire them toward God's best, not fleshly tendencies.
Doing both nurtures a child secure in God's love and who they are.
They bloom into their truest self with grace and purpose.
