What is your child-rearing philosophy?

God should be first of all in a person's life.  Spouse next, then the children.  Show them you love them, also tell them you love them.  Praise them when they're good, chastise them when they're bad.  Listen to them.  when they have something to say.  Don't give advice until they ask for it.  Teach them right from wrong.  Take them to church, read the Bible together, and pray with them.  Don't make promises you can't keep.  Apologize if you think you've said or done something you shouldn't.  Teach them that God loves them and that in turn wants to be loved by them and we should love everyone.
