We're talking about parenting, parenting on purpose. It is difficult to be a good person, could I get a witness. It is even more difficult to be a good husband or a good wife. I think it is most difficult being a good parent. It's one of life's toughest assignments. In fact parenting is so difficult that if you casual about it, you're not going to be a good parent.

But that's next Sunday. The second factor he says, a commitment to love each child in a warm, affectionate and supportive way. He's talking about expressing love differently to each child because each child is unique. It's about this second factor that we want to talk about today.

I'm not sure you can be both. Your parenting style is either encouraging or discouraging. I think we've got a couple of choices. We can teach our children by being positive now we learned last week that we ...
