I am not sure who Amy Henry is, but she writes for World magazine. I love World magazine, therefore, I am a fan of Amy Henry. She recently wrote a short, great article on parental blindspots. Very, very good read.
You can read the entire article here.
A portion:
"I can’t think of a single family, mine included, who doesn’t have blind spots. Those who insist they don’t are probably the most blind. Christianity doesn’t excuse us and may even make us more unaware of our weaknesses. Ever had some kid walk into your house, take one look at your TV and say, “People who watch movies are going to hell,” while his mother looks on with an expression on her face that says, “I am SO proud of his ability to call a spade a spade”?
"If we care about our kids, if we care about being the aroma of Christ in this world, it would behoove us to gird our loins and find out where our blind spots are. We need to be big boys and girls and have the courage to ask those closest to us if they’ve noticed anything we need to work on as parents, any gaps in our discipline, what ugly traits they consistently see in our children."
