Parents, have you been there?Your son has tears in his eyes as he shows you that he got another “D” on his math test. You start explaining why perseverance is important, but his eyes glaze over. You decide to try a different approach. “Son, did I ever tell you about the two classes I failed in middle school?” Your boy raises his eyebrows. You’ve piqued his interest. It’s easy for us as parents to try lecturing to get our points across. But when Jesus walked on earth, he didn’t give long speeches. Instead, he told stories. Use the same strategy with your son. When he’s discouraged, recall a struggle you overcame when you were his age, and share that with him. You just might teach him a lesson he will never forget.
