The Brave New Parent

I wasn't expecting my post about church leaders to spark commentary on parenting but it makes sense that it did. If we are going to impact the world then teaching our children about this "brave new world" and how to navigate it is key.

How do we do it?

Here are 10 thoughts off the top of my head (feel free to critique, they could be wrong)

1. Ask good questions of your children.
2. Listen deeply to their answers.
3. Share your failures.
4. Laugh more.
5. Reduce your protection of them.
6. Let them fail.
7. Know, share and live by your values.
8. Be a place of reduced anxiety.
9. Read more about parenting (find the right books for you).
10. Create a village for your child and you.

What are your thoughts?
