Seek Advice
We can’t build a strong family by acting on our own! Going to God for advice and then seeking others to come alongside us as we follow that advice is a recipe for a good, healthy family.
Here is some advice for building a strong family: Establish some guidelines that everyone in the family can follow. You need to communicate these early on in your children’s lives so they have a clear understanding of your expectations. This should help eliminate surprises or claims by your children that you are inconsistent or that rules are constantly changing. By setting these unswerving, basic rules from the very beginning, you have laid a foundation that can be built upon. Remind your children of this when they try to dodge compliance by asserting unfairness. That won’t happen if you are reliable in your application.
Needless to say, the advice you seek for creating these guidelines is critical. Seek wise people and wise principles that are supported by the Bible, not opinions. It’s not necessary to reinvent the wheel when solid instruction is already available. The most respected parents are the ones who stick to their standards when the going gets tough.
