The third big parenting lesson from Deuteronomy 6 is one every parent needs to know! #parenting #family #leadyourfamily

The 2nd big parenting lesson is: "Teach them every chance you get" (see Deuteronomy 6:6-9).

God answers our question before it can escape our lips: “When am I supposed to teach my kids about you?”

Parents have more time and influence with their kids than any other person or organization. It’s not even close. If you think, “I just don’t have any time. I’m maxed out,” priority #1 in your life is to figure out the quickest, wisest plan to free up some time. Your kids need you, and they need you to teach them with your words and actions.

The first of four parenting lessons from Deuteronomy 6 - a chapter that can change the trajectory of your parenting and family.
