this is a list of questions to consider as you raise a child, it is written by Tedd Trip, but will be great to ask of any Christian you know, especially ourselves...
Relationship to God:
Does he ever talk about God? How does he talk about God? How does he think about God? Is his God small or grand? Does he think of God as a friend, a judge, a helper, a taskmaster? Is he living out of the fullness of seeing himself in Christ or is he trying to worship and serve himself?
Relationship to himself:
What attitiudes towards himself does he evidence? Is he shy or confident? Is he arrogant or diffident? Is he chained by fears? Is he able to extend himself to others? Does he have a false dependance on others? Does he feel better then others or does he feel inadequate around others?
Relationship to others:
What are your childs relationships? How does he interact with others? What sort of relationships does he have? What does he bring out in others? Are his relationships even or is he always in control or being controlloed? Does he fawn for the attention of others? Is he pleasant with other[s] ... his age? How does he deal with disappointment in people? How does he responed to being sinned against? What are areas of relational strength? What are the weaknesses?
Good questions!
