Parents Train Up Blog! Blogging about parenting issues, ideas, and situations! How Can I Protect My Children? Amidst seeming endless stories of child deaths around the world, we as parents have to ask ourselves, How safe is my home? Shouldn’t we also teach them about household poisons or electrical dangers or smoke inhalation or food poisoning or eating mommy and daddy’s medicine? The list of household hazards just keeps getting bigger every day! Do you teach your children how to be safe at home? And the...

Parents Train Up Blog! Blogging about parenting issues, ideas, and situations! I Didn’t Know. Over and over we hear it, ” I never saw it coming, how did that happen.”. Family, friends and neighbors, all report that they didn’t know that their young family member, friend, or neighbor was capable of committing a mass shooting, rape, sale drugs, steal etc…. Is it that we are not able to see what’s coming, or is it that we are overlooking what is apparent? In this new parenting age, where everything the chil...

The Overly Indulged and Overly Empowered Children | Parents Train Up Blog!

Parents Train Up Blog! Blogging about parenting issues, ideas, and situations! The Overly Indulged and Overly Empowered Children. Can you learn from other’s mistakes? Overly indulgent and overly empowered children are nothing new. Parents in Biblical days made the same mistakes that parents are making today. Eli, a prophet, knew his sons were corrupt. He put them in leadership positions in the temple. Their poor behavior was apparent to everybody. Like Eli, we ignore complaints about our children, until ...

Parents Train Up Blog! Blogging about parenting issues, ideas, and situations! We love to show “love” to our children. We like to buy things for them, cuddle with them, play with them, and hug them. We purely enjoy talking to them, taking them places, reading to them, and teaching them fun stuff, but this is only one type of love. and without the “other” type of love our parenting is not balanced. This love requires us to take off blinders, see our children as they are. Step out of pretty high heeled...

Parents Train Up Blog! Blogging about parenting issues, ideas, and situations! What Do you Say to Little Black Boys. We watch in sadness, frustration, anger, and confusion, as unarmed black men are shot by police senselessly. While we adults are trying to make sense of these unarmed shootings of black men. Our children are forming opinions about the police. If we are confused, what are they? What do you tell your children about the police? I remember my mother teaching my older brothers not to run on the...

Parents Train Up Blog! Blogging about parenting issues, ideas, and situations! Let’s Celebrate The “Last Times”. We always celebrate the “first times.” The “first” words our children say. The “first” time they crawl, and the “first” step they take. We should definitely celebrate these “first times.”. But what about the last? Do you remember the “last time” your child sat on your lap? The “last time” you laid in the bed with them until they fell asleep? The “last time” you read a story to them? The cycle ...

A Bittersweet Holiday | Parents Train Up Blog!
https://parentstrainup.wordpress.com/2015/05/25/a-bittersweet-holiday
Parents Train Up Blog! Blogging about parenting issues, ideas, and situations! There is no doubt about it, Memorial Day is a bittersweet holiday. We reflect on those men and women who have sacrificed their lives so that we can live in “supposed” peace here in America. They have stood up and stood out and said, “Here am I. Send me.” to the battlefields, to dark places, and to areas that most of use would consider a nightmare if we dreamed of those places. What is the secret to their success? Address never...
