If you are going to understand and help your child understand himself, there are skills you must develop. You must learn to help your children to express themselves. You must learn to facilitate conversation. You must know how to comprehend behavior and words. You must strive to discern matters of the heart. Proverbs 20:5 says, “The purposes of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out.” As a parent, you want to be such a person of understanding.
