Equipping Parents For the Culture War
It’s hard to remember a time when we didn’t have to worry about what our children were being subjected to in schools, or what they might see as they are browsing the Internet. On today’s classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson speaks with author Rebecca Hagelin as they discuss the daily battle parents face in protecting the innocence of their children. We must wake up and stop the busyness of life. Nothing shows our kids that we love them more than taking time to give them boundaries based on God’s Truth.

Should Christian Kids Ever Fight Back?
Question: Dr. Dobson, how much self-control and Christian responsibility can we expect of a child? For example, my five-year-old daughter has a rather passive personality, and she is constantly being hit, kicked and pinched by other children in the neighborhood. I have taught her not to fight back, showing her the words of Jesus in the Bible. Still, it hurts me to see her beaten—sometimes by children much smaller than she is. What do you suggest?

Faithful Parents and Rebellious Children
Question: Dr. Dobson, you have said that the children of godly parents sometimes go into severe rebellion and never return to the faith they were taught. I have seen that happen to some wonderful families that loved the Lord and were committed to the church. Still, it appears contradictory to Scripture. How do you interpret Proverbs 22:6, which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it"? Doesn't that verse mean, as it implies, that the children of wise and dedicated Christian parents will never be lost? Doesn't it promise that all wayward offspring will return, sooner or later, to the fold?

Teaching Your Children How To Love Difficult People
Children will encounter people who are cruel to them throughout their lives. It can happen at school, in their personal relationships, and as they grow up and begin working outside the home. In this video, Brenen and Morgan Beeler explain that parents need to teach their kids how to handle these challenging and often hurtful situations before they occur. One of the important lessons to instill in them is to pray for their enemies, which Jesus taught us to do in Matthew 5:43-45. Watch now to see how the Beelers did this with their son when he had trouble with a classmate.
