Guiding Thought
Knowing your child means paying attention — not just to what they do, but who they are. Each child has a unique personality, temperament, and way of receiving love. An effective father studies his child, listens between the lines, and adjusts his approach accordingly.
Reflective Questions
- What makes each of your children unique?
- How do you currently try to get to know your child better?
- What have you misunderstood or assumed in the past?
- What practical steps can you take to be more observant?
Encouragement from the Word
Psalm 139:13–14
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb… I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your child is God’s handiwork. As their father, you’re called to discover and nurture that design with care and curiosity.
