What Kids Need
Kids Need Loyalty: Building Family Loyalty
(Deut. 6:4-9; Eph. 5:33-6:4)
The Situation: Children wonder, "What is a 'family?'" Tragic testimonials and sobering statistics document the traditional family's fragmentation. Kids are bewildered by today's widely divergent family configurations and lifestyles.
The Solution: Remember that the family is God's idea, a vital part of His kingdom plan. God establishes and endorses the family as a fortress to withstand the world's hostile influences. God calls Himself "Father"-the One who leads His children. The Bible describes how to maintain healthy, dynamic relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren.
What You Can Do: Work on generating family loyalty. Building this allegiance will promote family teamwork to withstand the world's hurricane-force winds. Make home a priority; express sincere appreciation for each other; spend time together.
