“He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children” (Psa 113:9)
1. I decide to start family prayer from today. I decide to pray for my family. I will see that my children read their Bible each day and pray in the morning and night. I will teach them the Bible. I will take them to church and Sunday School regularly.
2. I decide to be a model to my children. I will not demand from them what I myself am not able to practise. I will humbly acknowledge my shortcomings when I am criticised by them. I will not hesitate to ask their forgiveness when I make mistakes.
3. I decide to show my love to my children irrespective of their shortcomings, academic performance or their attitude towards me. I will not irritate them. I will make them feel wanted through my words and deeds. I will reward their labours, efforts and good deeds.
4. I decide not to spare the rod. I will not keep on shouting and threatening till they obey, I will demand absolute obedience. I will punish when they sin but correct gently their mistakes.
5. I decide not to interfere when my husband punishes or corrects them. I will not nullify his corrections later by an apologetic attitude but explain to the child patiently.
6. I decide to show all love, respect, submission and obedience to my husband that my children may follow my example. I will help build up their relationship with their father.
7. I decide to maintain a happy atmosphere in the home. I will not consider it a waste of time to sit, listen to, talk and play with my children. I will be available when they return from school.
8. I decide to keep in touch with their teachers so as to know their personality outside the home. I will not brush aside the teacher’s complaints about my child but give weight to it.
9. I decide to breastfeed my babies as long as I can. I will train my children not to be too choosy in their food but to eat all that is prepared at home with a pleasant attitude and not to waste.
10. I decide not to smother them. I will give them freedom and independence but be careful about their friends and whereabouts. I will teach them to choose the good. I will make them do their own work and share in the household responsibility. I will not say yes to all their demands but teach them to accept “no’s” also pleasantly. I will bring them up in simple lifestyle.
