David Letterman is known for his "Top Ten" list. The list is usually a synopsis of any given topic, in terms only a comedian could deliver.
While vacationing with friends one year we decided to make a Top Ten list of experiences over the course of the week. We made it together and still laugh about it today, and that was 8 years ago.
The difference between the two? David's list is geared toward everyone, but our list was personal. We chose things that were funny or important to us. If someone else were to read them, they would not understand all of them, nor would they appreciate their importance.
Having a Top Ten List for your family is a great way to keep everyone on the same page, and your parenting intentional. It is exactly what Mary DeMuth challenged her readers to do...
Make a list of 10 things you want your children to know before they leave the nest. How can you parent today so they'll know these 10 things?
Take some time to sit down and think about what you want your teens to know before they leave home. Be intentional about the time you spend, the words you say, and the actions you show them each day.
