Q: How do you determine how effective you are as a parent? A: Try evaluating yourselves at the beginning of a new year. At the start of a fresh new year, I’m always drawn to evaluate different aspects of my life and see where the Lord may be wanting to do some “fine tuning”. Our parenting is an area that I bring before Him for inspection often but especially at the beginning of a new year. I encourage you and your husband to try it. Set aside some time to watch your children individually. Critique their character, their obedience, their strengths and weaknesses. Have a “parent meeting” some evening and discuss what you both have observed. Then make plans to enhance what you are pleased with and make plans to correct what you see that isn’t beneficial in his/her development. This is very empowering to you and your husband as a parenting “team”. It helps you renew your focus and parent with more purpose . May God be honored by the efforts of godly parents desiring to raise a godly generation! January, 2009
