Impact of Child Abuse on Children
Child abuse statistics reveal alarming rates with one in three girls and one in seven boys experiencing abuse by the age of 18. As caring individuals, the Evangelical Council for Abuse Prevention promotes safeguarding initiatives for kids, inviting parents, caregivers, and ministry leaders to gain wisdom in addressing abuse and threats through age-appropriate conversations.
Importance of Authoritative Parenting
Understanding the distinction between authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles is crucial for effective child rearing. Authoritative parenting, driven by grace and love, emphasizes God-given authority that is benevolent and focuses on the child's well-being. Emphasizing a relationship-based approach over control fosters trust, respect, and emotional development in children.

Navigating the impact of technology on children's development poses unique challenges for parents. Understanding the stewardship of technology, establishing clear boundaries, accountability, and fostering meaningful relationships contrary to technological distractions are vital aspects of parenting in the digital age.
Parenting Unity and Agreement
