A few rambling questions for parents:
- Who is the center of your home? How would you evaluate this?
- Who should be the center of your home? How would you evaluate this?
- How will children develop differently having their picture taken hundreds (thousands?) of times more than children in previous generations?
- Should parents exercise any caution taking and sharing so many pictures of their kids?
- What commitments and plans do you make as a parent that put your own interests ahead of your kids’?
- When SHOULD a parent put their interests ahead of their kids?
- How will our kids see us prioritizing God in our personal time, our homes, our relationships, our service?
- How will our kids know they are NOT the center of our homes?
- What activities compete with the spiritual growth of our kids?
- Do we have any time in our lives scheduled simply for exploration, meandering, or creativity?
- Do we parents somehow feel superior when our schedule has more in it than others?
- Do you have a plan for technology in your home? At what ages kids should interact with various technology?
- If you’re a Christian, how will your parenting and your lives communicate commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a culture where temptation to “keep up with the Joneses” is greater than ever?
