Six ways to embitter your children

Author William Hendrickson suggests there are at least six ways a father can embitter his children:

1. Over-protecting his kids
2. Favoring one child over another
3. Constantly discouraging his children
4. Not letting his children be unique individuals
5. Neglecting his kids
6. Bitter words and physical cruelty

Go home tonight and ask each of your children which of the 6 you could improve most on and listen to what they have to say. You may not mean to be over-protective or playing favorites, but perception is reality to kids.

Don't let the fruit of bitterness grow on your family's tree. Nip it in the bud.
