How do you assess your child\u2019s attitudes? What they say doesn\u2019t always reflect what\u2019s in their hearts. You ultimately know a child\u2019s attitude by behavior, not words.<\/p>\n
Watch both their overt behaviors and their non-verbal communications. Note the following:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Facial expressions<\/p>\n
\u2022 Eye contact<\/p>\n
\u2022 Body language\u2014movement and position of hands and legs, gestures, etc.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Tone of voice<\/p>\n
\u2022 Touch or lack of touch<\/p>\n
Describe behavior back to your child. When a child is acting inappropriately, let them watch their behavior in a mirror. Children need to learn to see themselves as others see them.<\/p>\n
The goal of right behavior is servanthood. We live to serve God and others for His name\u2019s sake. Serving\u2014obedient and giving behavior\u2014reflects a serving attitude. Talk is cheap. Actions speak far louder than words.<\/p>\n
Jesus\u2019 parable of the two sons really summarizes this truth:<\/p>\n
A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, \u2018Son, go, work today in my vineyard.\u2019 \u201cHe answered and said, \u2018I will not,\u2019 but afterward he regretted it and went. Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, \u2018I go, sir,\u2019 but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?\u201d They said to Him, \u201cThe first\u201d <\/i>(Matthew 21:28\u201331).<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
