Your Question:
What do I tell my kids when they ask about our future?
Answer:
When my kids, Joshua and Rebecca, ask about our future, I want to have open and honest conversations with them. It's essential to listen to their insignificant issues now, so they feel comfortable sharing their significant concerns as they grow older. I make sure to give them my full attention, remain at eye level, and show them that I'm genuinely interested in what they have to say. When they ask about our future, I try to gently guide the conversation by asking questions in return. This helps me understand what's on their mind and allows them to share their thoughts and feelings. For instance, if Joshua asks about our future, I might ask him, "What do you think our future looks like?" or "What are you hoping for our family?" This approach helps him think critically about his desires and values, and it also gives me insight into his perspective. As a parent, it's crucial to remember that our children will never be ready to make infallible life decisions. Instead of trying to dictate what they should do, I want to encourage them to make their own choices and decisions. By doing so, I'm giving them the courage to take ownership of their lives and make their own decisions. I believe in Joshua and Rebecca, and I want them to know that I trust them to make wise choices about their future.
