Four Parenting Links
April 2008
2 CommentsWhen this post was written: First child (D) was 4 yrs, 10 mo. Second child (B) was 3 yrs, 3 mo. Third child (L) was 1 yrs, 6 mo.
Four links for today:
The first two are by occasional commenters at As4Me.
Addy writes about repetition in teaching children. I had missed the article she references, so I was thankful she shared its significance to child rearing.
Jay Younts asks how we can teach our children to have an intimate relationship with God. He states the very goal is an important first step. I thought his examples were excellent.
Here is a link on 10 Ways to Help Your Child Love Missions at the Desiring God (John Piper) website. I need to read this article often. I think the ideas are excellent and go a little beyond the typical recommendations I’ve seen. Maybe it’s just good writing.
Finally, in light of our discussions on children and salvation at the Thursday morning Bible study, here is a relevant link discussing when to allow children to be baptized. Bonus posts: See also the earlier posts on evangelizing our children in part one and two.

By the way, Michelle, you’re the friend who encouraged me to just keep at it!

Addy, I wasn’t sure. I forgot exactly what I had said, and was hoping I wasn’t obnoxiously doling out advice.
I appreciated your article.
