We praise God that 8 children accepted Christ. Also in August, we said goodbye to Anna, who returned to Mississippi to study her sophomore year. Ruth returned to Oaxaca from the USA after she raised support for her personal ministry. She is still seeking more monthly support and support to purchase a vehicle and a computer. She will continue teaching the whole junior high and high school department of English at the Oaxaca Christian School as well as working with trafficked women in downtown Oaxaca. Thank you for praying for this ministry!"

Conclusion:

Giving Your Child Roots and Wings - Seattle Children's Publication

You may have heard the wise saying, “Parenting is about giving children both roots and wings: roots to know where home is, and wings to fly away and practice what they’ve learned.” From the moment our children are born we provide them with love, affection, acceptance, safety and security — creating strong roots. We also give them wings by helping them gain skills, confidence, common sense and independence. When thinking about how to best prepare your child for the world, consider the “three R’s” that all kids need: routines, rules and responsibilities. Routines help kids feel safe, content and settled. Babies are happiest when kept on a schedule for sleeping, eating and play. Young children need a morning routine to get ready for their day, and a nightly pre-bed ritual such as bathing, pajamas, brushing teeth and reading a story. Routines for school-age kids might include study time, practicing a musical instrument and sports practice. Family dinners are an important routine for kids of all ages; it’s all about making time to sit down together and share what’s going on. Rules make children feel secure and loved, and kids need parents to enforce the rules. Even when they complain about rules and break them sometimes, kids are glad that their parents care enough to set them. Rules work best when they make sense and are related to safety, wellbeing and respect for self and others. Kids develop good judgment as they follow and question rules. They learn that parents are willing to bend some rules now and then, such as a bedtime or a curfew. But safety rules — like wearing a seatbelt — are too important to be broken. Responsibilities help children become confident, resourceful and self-reliant. So let them keep track of their own schoolwork, and teach them to speak directly with their teachers about homework and deadlines. Encourage them to volunteer in the community or get a summer job. Chores are also important. Young children can put their toys away each day, care for family pets and help set the table for dinner. Older kids can help with laundry, meals, cleaning, yard work and caring for younger siblings — all skills they’ll use in life. By giving your child both roots and wings, you’ll help ensure their bright future.
