You Have 18 Years!

Yes, you have 18 years to raise your children before they step out of high school and into the world.

What system of values will they have been exposed to in your home?

And which of those values will they absorb and practice in their lives as adults?

Of course, we must also ask which of your strongly felt values will they choose to ignore?

This is the dilemma faced by all parents.

Unfortunately, it’s also possible that they may duplicate some of your shortcomings.

So, how well equipped will they be to cope with the world as it exists in 2021?

You may not know until it’s too late.

They will have already flown the coop.

Every parent must compete with peer pressure when forming their kids values.

Regardless of what you have stressed, the big question is, “What do they believe?”

I think for all the reasons just stated, you must stay close to your kids while they’re growing up so you can maintain a healthy dialogue with them.

If not today, when?
