ENCOURAGING AND ALLOWING CREATIVITY

As parents, we may insist things be done our way just because we automatically assume our way is the best. In doing so, however, we discourage the development of problem-solving skills and creative thinking in our kids. Inadvertently, we devalue their unique perspective and gifts. It may take more time and effort to try a different approach, but you may be surprised at the solutions your kids come up with. God has gifted each of us differently and every member of our family has something unique to offer. Ask yourself where your kids possess skills and abilities you may not have.

A godly leader has the humility to allow his kids to shine and doesn't have to be the resident expert.
