Golden Rule Parenting

 Not much hurts my heart as much as seeing a child embarrassed or shamed for doing wrong when people are watching the scolding.
.
I’m of the rare opinion that children deserve to be treated as we would want to be treated. Jesus, the originator of the golden rule, also had a heart for children. Parents would improve so much of their kids disposition if they applied it to their kids.
.
“Treat others as you desire to be treated”, is brilliant in its simplicity.
.
Do you enjoy being yelled at? Then don’t yell at your child.
.
Do you like your boss to ridicule and shame you about your failure in front of everyone? Then don’t correct your children in public.
.
Do you like for people to put labels on you? Then don’t put labels on your children.
.
It’s not hard to love your child in this way, you just have to think before you act. But this one rule applied lavishly on your kids will be a game changer, for them and you!
