External- Family Boundaries
When we were sitting in class discussing this asset it hit me, and I began to really think, How often now days do parents check on their kids to know where they are going? what they are doing? who they are with? How many times are the parents clueless and really aren’t too interested?
I remember when I was growing up, everywhere I went, my parents had to know, they needed to know where i would be, when i would be home, who I would be with. Every little detail was needed. I thought they were such pests, I hated it. My neighbor though, didn’t have to tell his parents anything, they didn’t care how late he was out where he was or anything.
As I got older, I really began looking at the different lifestyles and realized how much I appreciate my parents being such pests. I realized that my neighbor, really wanted some attention, he was lonely, he wanted someone to care and to ask what he was doing, how his day was etc.
It’s important to keep up with the youth. They really need all of us leaders to help them stay on track as they ontinue to grow as we have and still are. We need to be pests to our kids, and be sure to know that they will one day thank you for it.
