PARENTING AND FAMILY DELIMAS
The bible is replete of accounts of folks who had to navigate difficult protective relationships with their children, needing a lot of strength, faith, wisdom and
courage.
Isaac and his wife Rebecca struggled with favoritism and sibling rivalry (Jacob and Esau) Gen 25 vs 28.
Eli the High Priest and judge was not exempted, his sons Hophni and Phinehas though priests where unruly and disobedient that it cost Eli not only his life but the priesthood lineage 1 Sam3vs13-14
David! Let’s not go there…
So let’s have those difficult discussions, how do we draw the line between parental protection and the manipulative entitled child? How do we navigate this
terrain and avoid being seen as partial? How do you protect children from sibling rivalry? What tweaks parents and turn them to become discriminatory against children? Do we sacrifice the needs of the well behaved child on the altar of the unruly one for peace of mind?
Hmmm…what do you do, your child starts living with a romantic partner out of wedlock? What do you do, your child wants to switch genders? What do you do
your daughter wants contraceptives or family planning and needs you to help her get it done? Yes, we say God forbid!! Then what next?
Leading these discussions’ are sisters Mojoyin and Lady Ajayi.
