Parenting (4)

Deuteronomy 1: 30 The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes,

The challenges parents face these days are not a result of their negligence but the evolution of society. Parents have limited control over the use of gadgets by their children. If a parent decided not to buy a phone for a child the school will ask for learners to bring their phones. If a child does not own one he will feel pressure from peers and may even be bullied.

 Access to gadgets limits children’s muscle movement skills, some become obese and some will develop sight problems at a very young age. Not only that but they also get exposed to information inappropriate for their age. It is however comforting to know that God who knows gadgets still to be invented is our Father. He walks before His people and fights for them to date. 

Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, my parenting is threatened by changing times, thank you for your unchanging love and care. I find comfort in knowing that you will lead and make me a better parent each day, amen.
