Hypocrisy in Parenting

"It is not hypocritical to ask our children to do things we struggle with doing. It is hypocritical to pretend that we do not struggle. We should show them grace and strength from God for their struggles by modeling humble dependence on God for our struggles."

-Tedd Tripp, Instructing a Child's Heart, p. 89

I love Shepherding Your Child's Heart. I didn't know about this book. I'll have to get it.
