So much better to give them some tools that help them for next time, than to be constantly "behind the game," correcting. I think you are doing a beautiful job with your family. What a joy to watch them grow up!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>KatherineKatherine@Raising Fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887240362516586161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-61808681945274966692009-01-18T05:52:00.000-07:002009-01-18T05:52:00.000-07:00Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I will certainly remember it when it comes time.

I would say that we try to <EM>show</EM> our boys when we're convinced they really don't know what to do, and we <EM>tell</EM> them when we know they have a full command of the requirement and are just ignoring / being lazy / being childish. <BR/><BR/>Of course, a big part of "showing" your kids is creating a loving environment and showing respect to everyone around you (and ultimately around them). Kids pick up almost all of their social queues and expectations from their parents at an early age.. there really is no substitute for "Showing" in that context and I think that's what you're getting at here.<BR/><BR/>I guess the final thing that comes to mind is that God's word is filled with stories about Him where he integrates showing us (e.g., Christ coming to us) and telling us (e.g., the 10 commandments)... <BR/><BR/>Kim and I are right there with you - always learning the best way to impact our kids and teach them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-45587744136755154162009-01-17T07:13:00.000-07:002009-01-17T07:13:00.000-07:00We have one child specifically who is not respondi...We have one child specifically who is not responding in any way to the traditional parenting approach! I'll have to go back and read the posts you linked to when I have some time later. I've been looking for a good character training curriculum to use in our homeschool, but can't find a good one anywhere! Obviously the Bible is really all you need, but I was looking for something with ready-made lessons and coloring sheets, etc. Okay, kind of off topic now.
