​

“As young boy my mother taught me the reason why she called me ‘David’ was because she wanted me to have someone in my life, I could learn life lessons from. She believed if I read the Bible stories about David the shepherd boy to David the King, those stories would teach me how to live a godly life. My father was always cursing and angry. I believe he did the best he could with what he had but it drove me to find God at an early age. As a male and father of boys I still had my short comings, but I felt, if I could share with them the stories that helped me, they would help them too. Then there came a point when I couldn’t find the right material to support them. Out of this need, Who’s Your Daddy was born.

 

 

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

1. Find a family time when you can all sit down together (try one evening a week)

2. The stories are short and can be read in between 10 - 15 minutes and each one has its own key verse.

3. As much as possible get the teens engaged in reading. Make it their responsibility to bring the family together. (And remember they may have knowledge but parents have life experience and understanding)

4. Ask questions such as.

   1. What part in the story sticks out to you?

   2. Have you ever felt like the person in the story?

   3. What did you like or didn’t like about the story?

   4. Has anything like that happened to you?

5. Have a set time for discussion so everyone keeps engaged. For example, if reading takes 15 minutes, set 45 minutes to talk about different issues family members found in the story. If time goes over decide, do you continue or comeback tomorrow, for example during dinner to hear what someone had to say.

6. End the time in prayer together.

 

MOST IMPORTANTLY

If you want your children to listen to you, DO NOT GET ANGRY IF THEY BRING UP SOMETHING YOU DID OR DID NOT DO. Sometimes as parents we can get defensive and lash out at the child by bringing up something they did. If you do this, you are closing them down from speaking to you.

• Be humble.

• Listen to what they say, there could be truth in their words.

• Offer to change if needed but do not make promises you cannot keep.
