#72: Instruction Manual

Two simple words strike terror in a parent’s heart. Those words are: “Assembly Required.”

And yet, too often we ignore the instruction manual when putting together a bike or race car track for our son. We think, “Yeah, I can do this by myself!” But after hours of frustration, we swallow our pride and study the instruction manual to assemble the toy.

Parenting your son is also a complex process, especially these days with so many flashy distractions competing for his attention.

Thankfully, God’s Word provides detailed instruction on how to guide your son in the way he should go. Take time to read The Book of Proverbs together. There you’ll learn practical wisdom about how God wants us to grow and develop along the pathway of life.
