To Christian Parents
John Juern
Responsibility and Kids

In giving children opportunities to do tasks around the house, the goal is not perfection or speed; the goal is learning responsibility. When a parent is more concerned about getting the job done right or getting it done quicker than about teaching responsibility, it’s unfortunate. As children learn to be responsible, they also develop self-confidence because they are experiencing success.

Children also learn about responsibility as they observe how their parents handle responsibility. They begin to understand a proper balance between work and free time. The workaholic parent, by example, teaches an inappropriate lesson about responsibility. The parent who frequently complains about a job will send a negative message to the child about work. Conversely, parents who share the joys of their work with their children communicate a positive work ethnic. Likewise, children who see their parents involved in church activities will see the importance of setting time aside for serving their Lord.

The child who learns responsibility benefits from a positive self-image, but, more importantly, the child and the parents share in developing their God-given gifts. After all, the ultimate reason for learning to become a responsible person is to give glory to God.
