Being a devoted father of four I’ve discovered over the years that one of the worst things we can do to our kids as parents is to paint them a rose-colored picture of life.
I feel that one of the biggest disservices we could ever exact upon our kids is to lead them to believe life is fair. We must not make the classic mistake of attempting to shield and safeguard them against failure, loss and adversity. There are huge, invaluable lessons and messages in those challenges, and avoiding them places our kids at a significant disadvantage out the starting gate of life.
Simply put, we should not attempt to adjust the road of life for our kids, we should equip our kids to handle the road of life. Our daily prayer for our kids should be, “Lord, please protect our little ones through all hurt, harm, danger and adversity and when they fall, please give them the strength to rise, recover and realize the lesson in it all.”
This type of prayer acknowledges that we understand that challenges are a way of life and without them we can not grow. No doubt this is a good breadcrumb to making it great. So, let’s make it GREAT!
