- Do you have any practical suggestions for teaching a 5-year-old to be willing to give more generously to those less fortunate?
- Are girls a product of what their moms model and dads affirm? If so, should I focus on what I'm modeling for my girls? Is there a parallel statement for boys?
- I've been teaching my children (ages 5 and 4) about Jesus being crucified; is that an age-appropriate topic?
- Are my children (boy age 7, girl age 5) at a place where we need to dictate more modesty, even though they don't seem to understand why it's important?
- What do I tell my young child when he says he doesn't want to go to church?

We recently found out that one of our children had taken (stolen) a stuffed animal from her school classroom, having blatantly lied to us about it through extensive questioning before the offense became obvious. She hid this for about 2 weeks before the truth came to light. The child is VERY sad about the punishment, but it's hard to determine whether she's repentant about having sinned -- or just sad about being caught. How can we seek to develop a true heart of repentance?!?
ReplyDeleteMary, thanks for asking this question. That's a good one. Would you mind sharing the age of your daughter? I'm assuming young elementary?
