Moms and dads may have good intentions when they offer - TopicsExpress



          

Moms and dads may have good intentions when they offer constructive criticism or advice. But if it’s offered at the wrong time or in the wrong way … teens may take it as judgment. Have you ever rolled your eyes at your daughter’s outfit? Or used Scripture to reinforce household rules? Or maybe even withheld a hug or smile after your son disappointed you? We’ve all been guilty of these kinds of blunders. But we should make every effort to avoid them … because these belittling actions are signs of a judgmental spirit. And few things will shut down a teen faster than judgment. Matthew 7, verse 1 says, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” So, let’s display grace in our actions and attitudes … and make our homes a safe place for our teens to grow. (Mark Gregston)
