The first language of love is discipline. And in order to discipline our kids, we

ourselves must be disciplined because kids don't do what we command, they do
what they see us do.

HOW DO WE SHOW LOVE

1. Live by example - Eph 5:1

2. Teach them the word of God no matter their age. Bring it up or down to their

understanding

3. Magnify the things of God. For instance I realized my kids were enjoying
secular cartoons more than bible story cartoons, so I enforced the bible story
cartoons against their wish but I would sit with them and explain every detail of

the cartoon in a most dramatic way that it eventually becomes Interesting to
them. They love Spiderman, but now Jesus is their ultimate superhero because of

how I have magnified him in their sight.

4. Take them to church and make them concentrate during services. Never get
into the habit of giving your kids toys or phones to play with in church whether or
not they understand what is being preached. They need to learn to take God

seriously. Give them clean offerings not dirty money that has been rejected while
you reserve the best for buying ice-cream after church.

They must learn to honor God.

5. Pray for them and teach them to pray. This will help them when you are away

from them.

6. Help them develop good character. Teach them manners, teach them to share

& be kind. Teach them rights from wrong. Teach them to forgive. If your child tells
you that someone offended him, what will be your response?
