Play Your Role! - While playing the role, Aldo, kindergarten, often inserting a scene of contention. For example, when he played a father, he scolded his friend who serves as the mother. Lived had lived, he was often seen bickering both parents at home. And, consciously or unconsciously, he learned the cussing from the behavior of the parents.
Read Ephesians 6:1-3 it felt a great relief of parents. This verse encourages kids in order to respect parents. No joke, because these important commandments from God himself. In fact, it contains the promise of happiness and a long life in this world.
However, as a parent is not fitting for us to be arrogant. We need to pay attention to paragraph 4, which shows the role of parents. The verse States clearly that parents are responsible for educating children properly in accordance with the will of God. Not true if the parents just demanded respect for children. Parents also may not make the children irritated by rebuke or rant that galling. It can make children lose a sense of believing parents, even make them dare to rebel.
Educating children is a role that should be done jointly by married couples. Educating children is not simply a pretty ambition expressed through words or advice, but rather need to be delivered anyway through example. Therefore, as parents, we have to play the role that corresponds to the character of Christ in parenting. — EBL
