Teach Your Children 12 Ways to Live a Life with No Regrets…

Posted on 02. Sep, 2009 by cherylmoeller in Christian Marriages

Teach these practical, transferable 12 crucial life lessons to help your children make wise choices, each day. From truths learned from personal experience, we want to encourage you to teach your
children these disaster busters.

1) Apologize quickly and sincerely as soon as you realize that you’ve wronged someone (particularly your parents and siblings).

2) Never feel sorry for yourself (self-pity is another form of pride).

3) Stay in control of your emotions.

4) Never burn bridges behind you, in relationships.

5) Nothing is ever gained by quitting.

6) Remember, there are more people counting on you than you realize.

7) Don’t forget that God is at work, even when you can’t see it. God is working right now, in ways you don’t know about.

Love your family!

9) Meet every day with prayer, praise, and God’s Word.

10) Stay connected to the hearts of your family (particularly in a time of testing). To solve a problem with another person, soften your own heart first.

11) Listen to those who love you, before making a life-changing decision.

12) A good name is more valuable than great wealth.
