I
think most parents would agree with this, that peer pressure is a top concern.
Your children are with you almost 24/7 in those first few years so when they go
off to school suddenly they are around their peers a majority of their days. It
becomes even more worrisome as they go into those pre-teen and teenage years. I
am sure that some kids are just built by their temperament to be able to
withstand peer pressure but other kids may need some help. My daughter is
getting some blackheads and zits on her face and one in particular got all
pussy and was centered right in the middle of her chin. We have instituted the
washing the face at morning and night to clean up the skin and hope to keep
these from becoming rampant. My dear son has had the acne problem and been on
medication for it for a couple years now. Thankfully, he has been very resilient
to peer pressure and has chosen his friends wisely. It is tough to not worry
about your kids but in the end they are
in the hands of God and are his so we have to accept his will for our kids and
just love them and keep on praying and guiding them towards God and his Word.
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love
of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being
killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in
all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am
sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor
things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all
creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
