How can we instill integrity into our children?
Teach them that we always live in God’s presence. Jesus is always in the room.
As a family, read books or listen to radio theater stories of godly people like Hudson Taylor, George Mueller, Corrie ten Boom, and William Wilberforce, for example. Discuss lessons from their lives
Children need to feel valued as they learn to speak truth. If parents immediately berate a child if they share a differing opinion from their own, children will subtly learn to mask some truth.
No better training exists than parents living lives worth replicating. Those little ones see us day in and day out. May our children find us to be people of integrity – the real deal on the inside.
