Delighting In Your Child Jan 29, 2020

Show notes

Today’s podcast is all about delighting in your child!

Do you delight in your child?

You may ask, “Delight?! How can I delight in them when they can be so frustrating?!” Or “How do I choose to delight when most of the time I’m just trying to make it through the day without loosing my marbles?” Delighting in your child is not a concept you hear very often, but it’s one of the greatest teachings we can share with you.
When you delight in your children, they will become delightful. When children know their parents delight in them, it’s so much easier for them to believe that God delights in them. Isn’t that what we want them to know and believe?
This weeks episode is all about how you can learn to delight in your kids!
