7 Key Elements of Mentoring Your Children

This comes from Family to Family by Dr. Jerry Pipes and Victor Lee:

1. Modeling (Deut. 6:6, 1 Cor. 11:1)
2. Be there – emotionally and mentally, not just physically
3. Affirm them – don’t just correct (Luke 22:32)
4. Pray with them and pray for them (Luke 11:1, Phil. 1:9-11)
5. Be transparent
6. Empower your children – do things “with” them not just “for” them (John 14:2)
7. Make the Word of God central to what you do (Deut. 6:4-9, John 1:8, Hosea 4:6)
