*IT'S FOR THE COURAGEOUS*.

                               

A man's life is divided into three stages. Childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

 

Childhood is a foundation-laying stage that begins with birth. Initially, young children remain indoors, learning at home. At this point, parents set their children's lives in motion. It is at this point that you pour it into them. When you design a mold for them, Remember the scripture that says, "Train up a child in the way he should go"?

 

You are forming a mold and a pattern for your child to follow. At this point, you are in command; you have complete control, and you decide and choose what happens.

 

Children look up to you in every way. At this point, friendship is your greatest option as a parent.Friendship is your most powerful weapon. Not only for this stage but also for the years ahead. That is your point of contact. Be their pal.

 

However, the adolescent years are distinct. It is a year of discovery and autonomy, as well as a time of differentiation. At this point, you no longer have absolute power or control. You are sharing power with your teens.

 

At this point, your authority is called into question, and things are done in their own way, not yours. It is at this point that they wish to distinguish themselves. They no longer wish to be in your shadow. They aspire to be their own men. They want to be certain of their own identity.

 

At this age, bravery and guts are required.As parents, you must be courageous since the teen years are also a time of loyalty. When everything you've ever taught them will be called into question.

 

A lot of parents lose it at this moment because they don't understand why their lovely little angel is changing.Change is the only constant on Earth, and it is only for the brave.

*ESAU'S WIVES*

Are your teenagers thinking about getting into a higher institution?

 

That's great!

 

But have you taken time to talk about *dating and marriage*?

 

Yes, you read that correctly.A lot of them get entangled here. Your children need to know where you stand on matters as serious as dating and marriage.

 

Have you read about Esau's wives? Amazingly, Esau didn't know where not to marry; he got wives from the Canaanites, which made the lives of his parents miserable.

 

*They made life miserable for his parents.*

 

To the point where they had to quickly do damage control.

 

But unfortunately, the guy had just acted without knowledge. He had taken an unguided decision.

 

He was not taught by his parents. They didn't teach him anything about marriage.

 

They had to call Jacob and tell him not to marry from the same place his brother does.

 

Esau didn't know where to marry or where not to take a wife until his parents sent Jacob to go find a wife among their brethen.

 

A lot of parents wait until their children bring in their love partner before they start talking about marriage.

 

When the children are not listening, they begin to call village people.

 

Don't wait for them to just emerge suddenly, be part of the process now.

 

If you don't want your children to come back yoked with someone who will make your life *miserable,

 

Take responsibility now.

 

Remember *GOD FORBID* is not a *PARENTING STRATEGY*

Get to work now.
