Title How to understand parents/Proverbs 10:1
"A wise son makes a father happy, but a foolish son is a mother's sorrow" - Proverbs 10:1
Wise children want to please their parents. To do this, first of all, children must understand their parents. As any teenager knows, it is difficult to understand parents. Here are seven things that will help you understand your parents.
1. Try not to feel awkward about words that are used only between parents. Try saying things you don't use often, such as "I'll do the dishes" or "yes".
2. Try to understand the music your parents listen to. Play a hymn like "The Crucifixion on the Dead" in your stereo and listen until you get used to it.
3. Be patient with your weaknesses. If you see your mother's hand creeping through the candy, don't shout, but set a good example for yourself.
4. Encourage parents to talk about their problems. Keep in mind that earning a living and paying home installments are important to them.
5. Be generous with your parents' appearance. Don't try to hide him from your friends, even if your dad just shows up with an awkward haircut. Remember, it's important for fathers to have their hair cut similar to those of their age.
6. Even if your parents do something you don't think is right, let them know that it's their behavior that you hate, not yourself.
7. Above all, pray for your parents. Although parents may appear confident on the outside, they are weak on the inside. Parents also need God to overcome difficult times as parents.
Think again. These seven pieces of advice are equally effective for parents.
With this in mind, read it again. And try it.
The right attitude toward the family comes from the right attitude toward God.
