Are you ever so frustrated at your child\u2019s lack of follow through you want to sentence them to time in their room or with other restrictions until they finish the task? You\u2019re not the only one \u2013 I\u2019ve been in that state of mind plenty of times. Let\u2019s take a look at some parenting tactics to get us on the right path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe chief jailer committed to Joseph\u2019s charge all the prisoners who were in jail; so that whatever was done there, he was responsible for it.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nGen. 39:22<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh Lord, why aren\u2019t they more responsible and why aren\u2019t they more like so and so?!\u201d  Our tendency might be to think God missed some key DNA when He \u201cfearfully and wonderfully\u201d created them, but I firmly believe God doesn\u2019t make any mistakes.  The missing components more accurately have to do with me\/us, a.k.a. the parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  Fulfill your role \u2013 be the parent<\/strong>.  Proverbs 22:6 tells us to \u201cTrain up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.\u201d  It\u2019s very seldom that \u201cgreat\u201d (however you might qualify that adjective) kids or adults were solely born that way.  However special, creative, energized or ornery your child might be \u2013 they are capable of learning\u2026we as moms and dads must be faithful to teach them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.  Assign responsibilities<\/strong>.    Aside from God\u2019s sovereignty, Joseph might never have gotten out of chains had the chief jailer not passed responsibility on to him.  I sincerely doubt that Joseph knew all the ins and outs of daily jail duties.  This unnamed guard, who apparently deserved an Oscar for \u201cBest Actor in a Supporting Role\u201d, certainly allotted tasks.  You need to do the same, give your kids jobs.  Be mindful that they are age sensitive, yet know kids are capable of doing things far tougher than we expect. (Suggested Book for teens and their parents: Do Hard Things<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.  Coach \u2018em.<\/strong>  I remember my dad showing me how to remove the paint from the rim of the can before putting the lid back on to prevent it from going dry over time.  Avoid put downs or words that critique your child\u2019s character \u2013 instead address the inaccurate action or behavior.  I can still hear my mom\u2019s repeated praises of how much she appreciated how good the floors looked after I had done my weekly chores when I was in junior high.  They\u2019ll be motivated to do it again, and even better, as they hear our applause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you are faithful to parent, I\u2019m confident you will see 1) your child\u2019s level of responsibility rise 2) have some additional help around the house and 3) see an increase in their self-esteem and confidence as you implement these suggestions.\u00a0 But the bigger picture is that you will be equipping your child with a discipline helping them\u00a0love God and love others<\/strong>\u00a0even more than they can now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the verse at the top of this devotional (Gen 39:22). \u00a0As the author of this devotional, I am empoweredJ to tell you that you are like Joseph \u2013 you are a captive at this point in life.\u00a0 My question to you is do you want to move into being the big dog in the pen or just live as the runt?\u00a0 Assuming the former, what things can you take on and learn now in order to be handed the keys to the cell door?\u00a0 Ask those in authority around you for some help, you\u2019ll be blessed by the results of growth!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
