#784: Knots

When building an outdoor shelter, rope comes in handy. But do you know how to tie a square knot? What about a sheet bend knot or a bowline knot.It takes time, practice, and patience to master these knots—but when you understand their purpose and how to make them, life becomes a little easier and a whole lot more fun.The same is true in parenting. Raising boys can feel like a rope full of knots. There’s twisting and turning, looping and crossing. And if you rush the formation process, you’ll experience confusion and frustration. That’s why spending quality time with your son is so important. As you focus on his needs, those knots in the parenting process transform into useful tools that serve important purposes.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
