| Do not challenge your child to a dare...he might take you up on it. |
Many times
we create “To Do” lists with extensive things we want to accomplish. The other
day I heard a radio personality ask the question, “What would you put on a ‘Do
Not Do’ list?” Most of the responses were related to things done at church.
I thought it
would be fun to expand the ‘Do Not Do’ list and include any topic area, not
just church. Here is the list I came up with.
1. Do not yell back at the actors in a
movie – they can’t hear you.
2. Do not ask your child, “Why did you
do that?” They will respond with, “I don’t know.”
3. Do not sit in church and eat chips
and pop like you’re at a movie theater.
4. Do not show up at your teen child’s
school and think he will welcome you with open arms. My son actually begged me
not to come back.
5. Do not take your child to a loud play
area then complain about your surroundings – “There sure are a lot of kids here
and it’s noisy.”
