Title:
Three Tips To Build a Positive Relationship
With Your Children
Psalm 127:3-5 (NLT)
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates.
Luke 18:15-17 (NLT)
One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him. Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
Parents, of all the jobs you’ll have in your lifetime, none will be more rewarding or challenging than parenting. You will be their teacher, counselor, disciplinarian, intercessor, coach, cheerleader, and much more.
Think about it:
That young life you’re shaping will be an adult not many years from now. That little boy will likely be a husband and father; that little girl will be a wife and mother.
They will approach life in much the same way that they experienced it in their childhoods when you were raising them. Your influence will flow into the next generation and the next, and beyond.
Deuteronomy 6:1-6 (HCSB)
“This is the command—the statutes and ordinances—the Lord your God has instructed me to teach you, so that you may follow them in the land you are about to enter and possess. Do this so that you may fear the Lord your God all the days of your life by keeping all His statutes and commands I am giving you, your son, and your grandson, and so that you may have a long life. Listen, Israel, and be careful to follow them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly, because Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you a land flowing with milk and honey.
“Listen, Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them be a symbol on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

A positive relationship with your children is grounded in their knowledge that you love them unconditionally.
Ephesians 6:4 (ESV)

5. Show love even when they misbehave.

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching...., for they will be a garland of grace on your head and a gold chain around your neck. My son, if sinners entice you, don’t be persuaded.
Proverbs 3:1-7 (HCSB)
My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commands; for they will bring you many days, a full life, and well-being. Never let loyalty and faithfulness leave you. Tie them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will find favor and high regard in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths. Don’t consider yourself to be wise; fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 4:1-4 (HCSB)
Listen, my sons, to a father’s discipline, and pay attention so that you may gain understanding, for I am giving you good instruction. Don’t abandon my teaching. When I was a son with my father, tender and precious to my mother, he taught me and said, "Your heart must hold on to my words. Keep my commands and live.
