In today's society more and more kids, teenagers and young adults are faced with ongoing challenges that could in some cases have a positive or negative impact on how they act as they grow up. Parents must become fully aware of where their kid's are at all times, who their kid's friends are and what type of family values does the parents of their friends have that are either similar or different from theirs. "Knowing this can help determine whether your child is hanging out in a environment that's conducive to the manner in which they're being raised."
Trying to raise kid's in a Christian environment can sometimes become more and more difficult as well as challenging as they get older. Outside influences are often the problem. Other factors impacting our children's generation is the increase use of electronic devices; iphone, cell phone, ipad, computer games, texting, face book, twitter, instagram, skype and reality tv. And the world's view and acceptance of immorality.
What we as parents must do to counter this generational non-sense is continue to parent them, affirm our love for them, pray for them, try to understand them, hold them accountable for their actions, set boundaries, teach them the importance of hard work, keep our communication line open, eat dinner as a family, set good examples for them and continue to teach them about moral principles and values.
