Nurturing a Child’s Emotions

“But you must continue in the things which you have
learned and been assured of, knowing from who you have learned
from them,and that from childhood you have known the Holy
Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through
faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
2 Timothy 3:14-15

A person’s mental outlook and emotions are shaped in their childhood years.  This is a delicate area and needs to be nurtured by God’s Word and by the parent’s tender loving care.  Foster a safe, peaceful, and loving environment for your children.  They need to know that you are watching out for them, protecting them, and loving them.

Your tenderness, affection, and love will go a long way in establishing your children’s emotional life.

Thought for the Day:

“It is our responsibility, as parents,
To take time to teach, train,
And to bring up our children in the discipline
And admonition of the Lord.”
