How do you raise your kids?
Mine would probably say by ball and chain. Well, ok, that is until they get a bit older and get some experience under their belts. Then they see that mom and dad are consistent. We base the rules we live by and move our family by principles and not the personalities or feelings of the moment.
The advantage of principles is that they are the same now as they were with Adam and Eve. They’ll be the same long after I’m gone. Doesn’t matter the circumstances, the threats, the whining, the tantrums or the deception…the principles remain the same.
That means you can count on them. It means the decision in compromising situations has already been made and when all is said and done, you will be a parent known for your solid foundation that your children, believe it or not, will eventually admire and (hopefully) emulate.
