The keys to family success

1. God is the builder, not humans
1. If God is not in it, it won’t help to work any longer
2. If God is not in it, it won’t help to work any harder
3. God needs to be the focus – the foundation
4. God must be personally involved in each family
2. Children are rewards, not punishments
1. Aim and fire (motivate) your children into the world
2. Children need direction and motivation
3. Each child is unique
4. Point (and motivate) your child aligned with that child’s gifts / strengths.
5. Find your child’s passion
3. Families should grow from attention, not suffer from neglect
   1. Families need our time – commit to it
   2. Families need our focus – engaged, connected
