The Family Calendar - Ephesians 5:16; Deuteronomy 11:18-21
Parenting Goal: Train your children so as adults they will
walk with Jesus and lead others to Him
Why days are “evil”:
•
More choices • Technology increasing pace
• Narcissism
• Misuse of finances – credit, etc.
• Relational dysfunction
Culture of “experience seeking”
Perspective Problem, so…
• Simple things
• Make plans
• One step at a time
• “Way of life” in regular activities
• Maximize patterns
Take time to:
• Study/read
• Plan with your spouse
• Together activities (does not include spectator stuff)
• Chores/responsibilities
• Set clear expectations;
• teach clearly “how”;
• hold accountable;
• no battles;
• reward completion
Use your time wisely:
•
Chores/responsibilities• Do projects together
• Reduce involvement to maximize involvement
