Fun & Games

A joyful heart is good medicine.
Proverbs 17:22

Don't feel like the only way you can cause your children to think and engage with you is through serious teaching. Bring up a wacky topic at the dinner table one night and see where the conversation goes. Get them thinking about making good choices over a game of Twister. Examine the creativity of God by asking them how many different faces they can make.

A great, satisfying part of parenting is learning how to make good use of fun. Laughter is God's lubricant for the soul. Fun reduces friction when a parent wants to get an important truth in his or her child's heart. Learn to laugh - a lot.

One of the best ways to get your kids to seriously consider the serious things you want to teach them is to make sure your not so serious with them all the time – establish and enjoy their relationship!
