I was going to write the same things as Heather (thought not worded so eloquently). I’d also like to add that we need to remember that our plans for them may not necessarily be the same as what God has in mind for them. Let them be free to be who He wants them to be, not who we want them to be and follow His paths, not ours. And in the midst of teaching my children to be patient, gentle, polite, and home educating my children, my number one role at their mother is to teach them about the Lord.

Many, many things I can learn from God on how to parent.

Two things come to my mind. Patience and freedom of choice.

Patience- He is patient with me. No matter how many times I may fail or be whiney about something He is still there waiting on me, calming me, loving me.

Freedom of choice- so many times I think as parents we tend to push our children toward what we want for them instead of letting them choose (even though we know that those choices might not be the best for them).
