OUERSKAP IN 'N VERANDERENDE WÊRELD
Ouerskap in ’n veranderende wêreld is beide ’n voorreg en ’n uitdaging, veral vir Christelike gesinne wat hul kinders met ’n sterk geloof en gesonde waardes wil grootmaak. Vandag se ouers begelei nie net hul kinders deur skool, vriendskappe en emosies nie, maar ook deur ’n vinnig-bewegende digitale wêreld vol skerms, sosiale media en ‘n voortdurende aanlyn-invloed. Tegnologie kan nuttig wees vir leer en om in kontak te bly, maar te veel skermtyd kan stilweg werklike gesinsgesprekke en betekenisvolle oomblikke saam vervang.
Christelike gesinne moet doelbewus wees oor die beskerming van gesinstyd -om maaltye sonder selfone te deel, tyd te maak vir gebed en kerk, en oop gesprekke te voer oor wat kinders aanlyn sien en hoor. Kinders groei op in ’n wêreld wat dikwels waardes bevorder wat baie verskil van dié wat in die Skrif geleer word; daarom moet ouers met liefde, wysheid en konsekwentheid leiding gee.
Dit beteken om gesonde grense rondom toestelle te stel, selfbeheersing te modelleer in hul eie skermgebruik, en ’n huisomgewing te skep waar geloof daagliks uitgeleef word, nie net op Sondae nie. In ’n veranderende wêreld gaan gesonde Christelike ouerskap minder oor beheer en meer oor verhouding, leiding en om kinders in die alledaagse lewe na Christus te wys.
