The Battlegrounds of Parenting

Mind/Thoughts

Am I learning more and more about effective parenting ?
What do I think of my parenting?
What do I think about my children?

Prayer

Do I pray about my parenting?
Do I pray?

Temptation

Do I give in to my temptations?
Do I know what my temptations are?

Immorality

Am I a moral being?
Am I a moral parent?

Repentance

Am I repenting every day of small and great thoughts, actions and feelings?
Do I feel the acceptance of my parental repentance?

Change

Am I daily changing for the better?
Is my parenting becoming kinder and more effective?

Memory

Are my parenting memories getting less painful?
Am I making memories today that I will be glad to recall?

Perfectionism

Am I letting go of my parenting perfectionism?
Am I letting go of the illusion that I can produce a perfect child?

Put on ALL the Armour Of God - that is the only way to win on the battlegrounds of parenting.
