Luke 2: 52
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
As parents one of our happiest moments is when our children hit / achieve a milestone e.g. first step, first word, potty training, graduation etc. The fact that a child has achieved a milestone doesn’t mean that there won’t be any slip up days going forward.
As parents when such slip ups occur our job is to let the child know that it is ok, slip ups are normal. Where possible help the child evaluate the situation and realize what he / she could do differently next time. At times all the child needs to know is that you are in his / her corner regardless (a confidence booster). Make encouraging your child / children a habit, be their loudest cheerleader.
I have heard parents, guardians & sometimes teachers say a child is almost impossible or difficult to teach, love or raise. What you need for a turnaround to occur is a little more encouragement, a little more love, a little more patience, a little more faith, extra dedication & a whole lot of prayers and as they get older they will get wiser.
The truth is our mistakes are meant to be springboards that are capable of launching us to greater heights. We shouldn’t let the fear of mistakes prevent children (and parents) from reaching that great height.
