In today’s society kids do not have to ask an adult a question to receive an answer.  They can simply get on a computer and search the internet on any subject that they are curious about.  When I was younger, parents used to tell children we were not old enough to receive an answer for a question we might have asked, so we would go outside and ask our friends and get the answer.  Later on in life you discovered that 90% of the answers you accumulated from your friends were totally incorrect.  Sadly the same can occur with our children today with the internet, only the information that they discover on the internet can be ten times more harmful to them than the information our friends gave to us. Our children do not have to communicate with us. A child can simply type up their questions on their electronic device. So if you have an open line of communication with your child do not shut them down.

 We as parents and Christian parents must be careful and not let the enemy misinform our children.  Once the information is downloaded into our brain we are made to respond to the data received.  If a child comes and asks you a question, they have most likely been pondering on this subject for days, weeks or even months before coming out and asking you.  Telling them that they’re not ready to discuss that topic is foolish.  If they are old enough to ask they are old enough to know.  It’s up to us to know how to use Godly wisdom when giving a response.  This is our time to instill God’s Kingdom wisdom into their minds.

Another trick from the enemy is that he has our mind centered on age instead of maturity.  Children today are smarter then ever before.  We can’t base our answers to them just on age but rather on how mature they are. Some children are exposed to certain things that other children are not that causes their minds to think about what they have seen or heard.  You have to pray and ask God how to love, teach and even discipline the child. He has given you.  Often we only use His name Creator for the earth habitation but it was not man and woman alone that created your child.  God says that even before we were in our mother’s womb He knew us.  So if He knew our children before we did,  why not consult Him on how to raise them?

 Every other report in the news is about a child being killed, missing or committing a crime. Every program including cartoons has some type of sexual content, verbal misuse, killing or magical powers.  The enemy is constantly in their minds and we have been naive on how to handle their questions.  As parents we must take time out from our schedule to check our children’s spirit. Sit down and talk to them and see what’s been downloaded into their mind.  Most of all, seek God on how to answer every question they ask. Let’s not continue to let the children of the world be wiser than the children of the light.

In Him
