Is Sheltering Your Kids A Bad Thing? Article

Emily Peters, North Main Kidway Director & Assistant Youth Director

As a parent or caring adult, we often set out to protect the children and teens in our lives from heartache, pain, or making the mistakes we had growing up. These acts of protection can be provided financially, through house rules or control. What does the Bible have to say about how we can protect our children? 

The week's article uses the book of Ecclesiastes to offer us guidance in this delicate parenting work as we raise teenagers to love and serve the Lord. Using God’s Word as the foundation for how to protect the children we care for should be our first line of defense as we raise them up in the ways they should go.
