Teaching our kids to work hard and develop a worth ethic can be easier said than done. This not only helps them become mature adults but it also is a discipleship issue. Brad Larson gives a challenge with some helpful insight into the importance of instructing our kids how to work hard. And we can help to emulate this for them.
Larson writes:
"So as we seek to impart a Jesus-centered work ethic to our children, we must first exhibit it. They should see us get up in the morning and start work on time. They should hear us speak with interest about our tasks. They should witness us wrestle through crises with patience and resilience (appropriately, to be sure —don’t scare them with your woes). They should watch us rejoice in projects completed and dream about ways to do things even better."
