#1166: Finding the Right Fit

If you plan to go skiing, you wear ski boots. If you’re heading to the beach, you wear sandals. For a quick jog around the block, you wear running shoes.You select your shoes based on the type of activity. Similarly, when training, correcting, or playing with your son, it’s vital to select the appropriate tone for the task at hand. It’s also crucial that you understand your son’s personality so that you can most effectively connect with him. At times, you may need to choose a serious tone. Other times, a light-hearted attitude is most appropriate. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” type of parenting. Understanding your son takes effort. But the more time and attention you devote to him, the more prepared he’ll be for life.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
