OPINION: 5 crucial keys to parenting in a world gone mad
to see their children grow up to have quality character, a conscience built on a strong foundation, and a clear motivation that moves in the direction of success. This is a noble and honorable goal. In today’s culture, that goal can feel overwhelmingly scary.
There’s not a 2+2=4 formula to answer these questions; however, I do believe there are five keys that can assist us in the process. I am certain that if you implement these keys in your household, you will begin to find that parenting in this nonsensical world will seem less daunting, and you will be able to begin establishing a solid foundation. Key #1: Work toward being relationally present
This is not a one-off or once-a-week occurrence. The more time is invested, the more your relational presence and relational connection will positively impact your child and their overall wellbeing. Taking the idea of being relationally present one step further, we must be curious students of the world of our children. Yes, that requires more effort for us; yet, it is a deeply impactful key to parenting well.
This is a key to effective parenting because it establishes a commonality and a safe place within the family. When emotions are something not to be feared, they become indicators, like a check-engine light, of something deeper and can lead to conversations of growth and learning.
