It’s (not) all about me!
At some point in our lives, we all have to come to grips with the fact that there’s more to life than just living for ourselves. If we spend our time focused entirely on our own needs and wants, we miss out on the family, church, and community connections that add meaning to our lives.
But how, as a parent, do you encourage your kids to break out of the “it’s all about me” mindset? Children have a tendency to see themselves as the center of the universe; how can you teach them to consider the needs of others? A new article by Tricia Goyer at the Mothers of Preschoolers ministry talks about raising kids who aren’t completely self-absorbed. Read Goyer’s piece, and give some thought to ways you can help your kids think beyond their own wants and needs.
