My dad may have overdone it with me. Of all my sibling, my dad had me become his primary help in our 1/4 acre vegetable garden. I weeded, watered and furrowed rows religiously after my dad helped me understand the impact of each task on the nurtured plants. My mom looked to me because I was like a monkey and could get so much fruit from our trees. In return, she always made my favorite desserts and jams. I grew up with a drive for quality, efficiency and productivity.

How often do you spend one on one time with him? Kids thrive when they are built up. Have you ever played FortNite or other games with him? Praised him for being better than you? Try to bring in the lives of spiritual giants to help share key principles with him as opportunities present themselves. Pray for inspiration. God wants you & your wife to succeed as a parents.
