Truth is, we can’t effectively train our children on the side. We can’t
discipline them here and there. We can’t teach when we’ve got a free moment. We
can’t mother intermittently.
Inconsistent training is ineffective
training.
If we are distracted by projects or pleasure, we may miss valuable
teaching moments, opportunities to encourage, disobedience that requires
discipline, or a chance to show affection. These moments, once lost, are gone
forever.
So ladies, may I encourage you, as I do my own daughters, to give
training and discipline your first and full attention. Walk carefully, and keep
your eyes on the mothering road.
