great benefit to reading to your child.
Understanding how God designed your child is a
critical piece to the puzzle that makes up your family. Taking time to learn
about what helps or hinders them is so important. Think about your own
childhood. Were you the child who wanted to spend time with your dad or perhaps
you just wanted to help your mom in the kitchen, but were always told to stay
out of the way? In the following clip from Cynthia Tobias, she talks about
another learning style that may help you understand your child.

I recently
spent time at a national conference where I had an opportunity to meet Dr.
Michael Gurian. I was very impressed
with his approach to what I call, “gender clarity.” In today’s culture of
gender confusion it is refreshing to consider God’s plan and design for each
person.
In this 3 minute video, Dr.
Gurian discusses the adolescent boy and how he is developing. Parents of
pre-teen boys really need to hear this! So much is happening and your
relationship is changing, like it or not. This is a pivotal time when a boy
begins his journey into manhood. Understanding your child and what they need
will play a huge role in your success as a parent and his as a young
man.
Interesting side note: The
word teenager first became popular in the 1920’s. The Bible only speaks of
children and men and women. In 1 Corinthians
13:11 we read, “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I
understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put
away childish things”.
In
the following video Dr. Gurian talks about Communicating with Boys 11-15
Years Old.
