Questions to Ask Your Children
- How are your devotions?
- What is God teaching you?
- In your own words, what is the gospel?
- Is there a specific sin you’re aware of that you need my help defeating?
- Are you more aware of my encouragement or my criticism?
- What’s dad or mom most passionate about?
- Do I act the same at church as I do when I’m at home?
- Are you aware of my love for you?
- Is there any way I’ve sinned against you that I’ve not repented of?
- Do you have any observations for me?
- How am I doing as a dad or mom?
- How have Sunday’s sermons impacted you?
- Does my relationship with mom make you excited to be married?
On top of these things, with your older kids, inquire about their relationship with their friends and make sure that God and the gospel are at the center of those relationships.
