3. Let Go Of Control
Give your children as much free will as you can tolerate, so they figure out how to make good decisions and solve their problems. The Bible is full of instructions on making life work and feel fulfilled, yet God lets us choose obedience or rebellion.
Invaluable lessons for life are better caught than taught. A wise man in our church challenged me to heap responsibility on my grade-school-aged boys—to treat them as if they were three years older than they were.
Crazy scary? Oh yes! Did it work? Wow, did it ever! My boys rose to the challenge, their self-confidence soared, and they discovered failure is not fatal—just educational.

About this Plan
What I learned from observation, casual conversation, and personal experience is, you do not have to be perfect to be a good mom. What you need is Jesus. When you follow the words and ways of Jesus, he covers your weaknesses, fills in the gaps, and equips you to be the best mom for your children. Here are three keys to parent with Jesus.
