One thing I try to do is keep Sarah with me most of the time. She's home with me, usually in the same room with me...cleaning, cooking , playing. I don't believe that children learn good social skills from other children. How can they? The other children are learning too. Our children learn their social, life and spiritual habits from their parents. The only thing socializing gives us is the opportunity to see the areas that our child needs to be trained better in. It also gives us an opportunity to teach our children to not do what other children do.
What I normally do is wear Sarah in my Ergo carrier during worship and then once Pasto O starts his sermon, I head into our church cafe to listen. There are tables w/ chairs and Sarah can color and play while I watch and listen to the sermon on the monitor.
While wearing Sarah on me during worship, I opened up my eyes to see her , worshipping and raising her hands to the Lord. She wasn't watching me. She was too close to me to actually see where my hands were..She was watching her dad and also a friend who was standing next to me.
I heard clearly from the Lord...
Your children are watching you but they're also watching the people around you. Probably more so the people you have around you.
Who's watching Who?
"Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old, he will not depart from it"
Proverbs 22:6
