There’s no question that having children costs money, time, and sleep! But the investment is worth every ounce of energy — kids keep us younger, smarter, and revitalize our lives. In this message, Pastor Rick tells us the five principles to bring out the best in kids or anyone else. You’ll learn how to accept their uniqueness, affirm their value, trust them with responsibility, correct without condemning, and love them fiercely and unconditionally. Find out how to discipline your child without overreacting, over-correcting, and overprotecting. Discover practical insights from fathers on how to bring out the best in kids and others around us.
