February, 2010 Q: How do we teach our kids to be unselfish and further, to go the extra mile when it comes to their relationships?
A: Pride and selfishness rear their ugly heads in each of us and the very real need to be important to your parent can cause a child to be judge and jury in watching you with your other children. Two questions we need to answer are, “How do I help my child to be thankful in even this situation?” and “How do I help him to instantly forgive his sibling AND his parent and to pray for them, asking God to give them His love for the object of their concern?” About the Author: Mary Allen is a stay-at-home, homeschooling, country-loving mom. She makes her home in the mid-west amidst Border Collies, horses, cows, a horde of chickens, her beloved husband of 16 years and their three girls. She writes articles for several online publications, including her own website, Home-Steeped Hope.
