INTRODUCTION
How To Use This Book

This book has been designed for use in a number of contexts. Not only will you be able to read and learn about honor yourself, but you can also work through this book with others.

In small groups or a Sunday school class, assign chapters to be read in advance and have people answer the questions at the end of each chapter. When you meet together, discuss the chapter and the answers, looking for ways to apply the material to family situations.

An appendix is also included at the end of the book, containing eight Family Together Times. These practical, interactive discussion sessions will take approximately twenty minutes and are for families with children between the ages of two and eighteen. They are intended to help your family learn what the Scriptures teach about honor and to show you ways to apply the principles presented in this book.

ONE
Youll Never Be The Same

Its fun to listen to new parents talk about their babies. At the three-month reunion of a childbirth class, you might hear:

Look at Rachels long fingers. Ill bet shell play the piano.

This boys going to be a great baseball player someday.

Were going to make some changes in our family. No TV for this kid. Only good reading.

Yeah, were getting rid of all the junk food in our house. Anthony is going to grow up healthy.

Jay and I want to have lots of children so Caleb will always have someone to play with.

High hopes and idealistic goals are a part of every young family. New moms and dads look at their little bundles of joy and envision a family where cooperation reigns over self-centeredness, closeness overcomes competitiveness, and a joy-filled family is the inevitable result.

An interesting transition takes place in many parents, however, as their families grow and mature. These same parents give up their positive vision in exchange for basic survival skills. They just want to get through the day. They can hardly wait for their child to go to kindergarten or graduate from high school and be out of the house.

As parents gain experience in the work of parenting, their attitudes seem to change:

First baby: At the first sign of distressa whimper, a frownyou pick up the baby.

Second baby: You pick up your baby when her wails threaten to wake up your firstborn.

Third baby: You teach your three-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.

First baby: You prewash your newborns clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the little bureau.

Second baby: You check to make sure the clothes are clean and discard only those with the darkest stains.

Third baby: Boys can wear pink, cant they?

First baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swim, and Baby Story Hour.

Second baby: You take your infant to a co-op play group.

Third baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaners.
