I am starting on another new book sharing that will help us to learn to communicate properly with our children. This book will compliment the previous book -
One thing that we need to know is that every Child is unique, even twin are unique in their own way.
When children are born, they come with an inheritance. It comes from the gene pool of each parent. It might not be seen at first, but it gradually unfolds.
If you have three children, it's as though you picked up one from A, one from B and one from C. They're all different, aren't they? Each child think differently, acts differently and communicates differently. Read how some parents describe their children:
- My son has a big mouth. He's loud and goes on and on.
- My girl is a puke queen. She loves puking, especially in the car.
- My son talks first and thinks later.
- My girl is so absentminded. She seems to be thinking about too many things at the same time.
- I wonder if my son has any feelings. He always has to be right, even when it makes his friends dislike him. But he doesn't seem to care.
- My girl is seven. But even now she has a place for everything, and she isn't satisfied unless everything is in its place before she goes to bed at night. Me? I let everything lie where it falls. But does she ever get after me about that!
And so on.
Did you notice some of the words used to describe the children - lost, puke queen, absentminded? Do these words sound negative or positive? Are these traits you would want to change in your child, or could you accept them?
What if each trait or characteristic is the way God uniquely created your child, and it's your task to understand your child?
