Starting With Me

Do you ever use something outside the box to teach your kids lessons?

My son has been making decisions lately with no thought about consequences.

This morning a relatively minor, He was unloading the dishwasher and grabbed more glasses than he could reasonably handle. He looked at me and I shook my head and told him it wasn't a good idea. Sure enough he dropped and broke a glass. Yesterday he thought it would be funny to disrupt his class at school, again no thought about consequences. This isn't the first time and his teachers are ready to kill him (figuratively).

Last night and this morning we read Proverbs 1 and this morning my wife pulled up Jake Owens song, Starting With Me. It is a perfect example of the fool from Proverbs chapter 1 after making all the dumb choices in life and looking back and wishing he had done things different.

Hopefully he gets the idea that he doesn't want to end up looking back at his life with regrets.
