C4P 26 - Enough or Push More


Notes for Podcast 26 “Enough or Push More” Bible Passages: Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:1-4, Matthew 5:48, 2 Corinthians 13:14 Do you find yourself wondering how much you should push your children to develop? Parents we know have had several schools of thought: 1. No interventions at all. 2. Do hours and hours of research, interview many experts in all the therapy fields, hook their children up with the best. 3. Intervention on steroids potentially to the detriment of siblings, spouses, friends (and maybe even the child). 4. Learn from the experts, go for certifications and degrees in the fields that will most help your child, and do most of the interventions yourself at home. 5. And variations and combinations of all of the above. THINGS TO CONSIDER" Medical fragility Season of life Other responsibilities This child’s personality This child’s capabilities This child’s spirit Siblings Aging parents The budget So, what is a parent to do? - Consider the above. - Pray. - wise counsel. - Get others to pray with you and for you and for your child. - Be willing to evaluate. - Don’t get discouraged or compare yourself to others.
