Child

(The word “child” refers to a child or a youth of any age living in the home.)

(Male references here are, as usual, generic and refer to both male and female children.)

 

Some possible ways a child could openly express God’s love through obeying his parents.

♥ Do what he is asked to do, when he is asked to do it.

♥ Come when they call him.

♥ Do his household chores without complaint.

♥ Do his school homework, assignments, examinations, and projects the best he can in the time allotted for him to do them.

♥ Speak to his parents and to others respectfully.

♥ Be kind and helpful to his brothers and sisters.

♥ Apologize to his parents when he has been disobedient to them or when he has held unloving attitudes toward them.

♥ Apologize to his brothers, sisters, or anyone else toward whom he has been unloving.

♥ Follow his parents’ guidance concerning the friends he chooses.

♥ Come home at the appointed time.

♥ Obey babysitters, teachers, and other authorities to whom his parents have entrusted him.

♥ Follow his parents’ rules when they are not present.

♥ Reason with them respectfully and kindly and in a timely manner when he is asking them to consider his petitions or when he disagrees with their decisions.

♥ Follow their guidance regarding his relationships with the opposite sex.

♥ Honor their input regarding his future spouse and the timing of the marriage.

♥ Discuss openly with his parents at the appropriate time his thoughts, frustrations, dreams, ideas, failures, hopes, and any other things which will help them understand and guide him.
