Motivation Monday

Christian parents, will you not for Christ’s sake examine your desires, your aims for your children, and see if they will bear the test of God’s law?  The most essential education is that which will teach them the love and fear of God.

Child Guidance, 298

Motivation Monday

This Work Pays.

It costs something to bring children up in the way of God.  It costs a mother’s tears and a father’s prayers.  It calls for unflagging effort, for patient instruction, here a little and there a little.  But this work pays.  Parents can thus build around their children bulwarks which will preserve them from the evil that is flooding our world.

“Let the child and the youth be taught that every mistake, every fault, every difficulty, conquered, becomes a stepping-stone to better and higher things.  It is through such experiences that all who have ever made life worth the living have achieved success.”

Education, 296

Motivation Monday

Allow (children) to help you in every way they can, and show them that you appreciate their help. Let them feel that they are a part of the family firm. Teach them to use their minds as much as possible, so to plan their work that they may do it quickly and thoroughly. Teach them to be prompt and energetic in their work, to economize time so that no minutes may be lost in their allotted hours of work.
