HFMD in your home.

Building a Character Family Step by Step

Phase I: PERSPECTIVE

1. Take responsibility for your family.
Every parent has a choice between mediocrity and excellence in the home. Decide whether you will face your responsibilities and make your family your first priority or run from your responsibilities and watch yourself and your family pays the consequences.




2. Decide to aim for a successful home.
Success in the home is achieved by examining the way things are right now, setting your sights on the way they should be, and making the investments necessary to get from where you are to where you want to be. Short-term “loss” of time, energy, and convenience – if properly directed – will result in long-term gain for the whole family.






3. Make the connection between character and success.
The most powerful motivation for developing character is the connection between a person’s goals and the character qualities necessary to achieve these goals. For example, if becoming a truck driver is the goal, a few qualities to focus on would be attentiveness in watching the road and traffic, responsibility in safety transporting others’ goods, and punctuality in reaching the destination on time. It is essential to realize that your family will not achieve true success without character.




4.Make a personal commitment to character development.
Until a leader is committed, the followers probably won’t be. Commit yourself to develop your own character first and foremost. Not only is this approach the basis of leadership, but your children will be watching you even more closely after you become a Character Family. They will learn more from your example than from anything else. Don’t let this fact scare you away from becoming a Character Family. On the contrary, let it motivate you.

Vacation Bible School

Dear parents,

We are now entering the second mid-semester break. Have you signed your child up to attend Vacation Bible School (VBS), organized by Children’s Church of DUMC? It will be an exciting, fun and wholesome time for your kids! The camp’s theme is ‘Get in the Game: Where Heroes are Made!’

Speaking of heroes, every child looks for a hero to admire and emulate. What and which kind of ‘heroes’ would you like your child to have in his heart? Are basic character values an important part of the modeling?

Most children find their heroes from movies and television shows. The producers of the media world know full well the motivating factors of a child’s appetite for entertainment and his search for a worthy hero to look up to. Powerful, immortal, fascinating and somewhat morally inspiring ‘heroes’ are created time and again to fill your child’s imagination and capture them as potential life-long gold mines for merchandising their products.

Do you get involved in helping your child to distinguish and identify good values to model his/her life after? Who gets to dominate your child’s character forming and values shaping? Heroes from the Bible are realistic and wholesome, and no less inspiring as the fictional movie characters. Find out more about heroes in VBS for yourself!
