#628: Consequences

If your son is like most boys, he’s full of curiosity and spontaneity. These characteristics help boys better understand the world around them. But—when not properly controlled—impulsive actions can lead to problems and pain.Help your son understand how actions have consequences. A great way to do this is to read the Bible with him. Show him how Samson thought he was invincible—but that he was no match against Delilah. Point out how Peter thought he could walk on water—but that he sank when he took his eyes off Jesus.By studying both good and bad examples, your son will gain a better understanding of how to act with discernment and wisdom.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
