When you can do no wrong, you leave the lessons learned buried beneath your imperfections. You know only what you know. There is no room for growth or maturity.
Our children live in their own world where they can do no wrong. As their mothers, sometimes we even think they can do no wrong.

This isn’t about whether or not your child is better than someone else, it’s about raising children up to become productive individuals in society ready to lead with more than their own thoughts.
When we come to the table where we can do no wrong, this idea shuts down the process of growing from our faults and failures.
Just think if your child came home and said he failed a test. But then continued to argue his point that the answers the teacher gave him were incorrect. I just don’t know what happened mom. I studied and I know my stuff. What she said is wrong.
How unfair and unjust to yourself, the child. You wrong the right before it even happens based solely on what you know or what you think you know.
Parenting is not easy. But giving your children what they want including the attention of where they can do no wrong, raises up only generations that are egotistical, selfish and very self-absorbed.
And as a parent of five, that scares the daylights out of me. I do many things wrong in life when it comes to parenting, coaching, being a wife, a daughter, a friend, etc.
When we enable our children that they can do no wrong, we slam the door shut in their face of living a life on purpose. Because what we are doing is confirming their belief that no one is better than me.
And that’s just not true.
If we want to raise children that opens widely the doors of opportunities and holds them accountable for their actions along with empowering them to grow and mature discovering God’s plan for their lives, we must train up in love and truth.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Train up in love and truth!
No child should be broken down by berating him or her when they make a mistake. However, the other cheek cannot be turned either when the mistake is made.
As moms, we must train up in love and truth.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. ~ Proverbs 22:6
Here we are instructed to train up our child in the way he should go.
- Show your child where the wrong occurred. Hold him accountable for the actions. (Discipline)
- Encourage your child to create a change or to right the wrong. (Standards)
- Train up in love and truth. Hold your ground. Don’t back down. (Consistency)
