They shared some with the online transcripts at FamilyLifeToday.com. They also, by the way, shared some additional questions on the subject of back to school. So, we once again have Barbara joining us. Welcome back.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Thank you, Bob.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And we\u2019re going to tackle some of these questions related to how we get ready for the coming school year. One of the first questions was all about\u2014not about classes, and not about clothes, or school supplies\u2014it\u2019s about that period of time from 3:30 until, I don\u2019t know, 10:00 at night\u2014that can be crammed up with all kinds of extra school activities \/ extracurricular activities\u2014whether it\u2019s sports, or music, or dance, or gymnastics. You had six kids.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>That\u2019s a lot of extracurricular. Did you have a way to handle what extracurricular was going to look like?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes. We came up with a pretty simple rule. It provided some challenges, but we were <em>very <\/em>unified on this rule\u2014and that was that our kids could only do one activity in a season. Now, sometimes, they\u2014you know, seasons can be short. If they did\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>\u2014they overlapped.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes. So, if our boys did Little League in the spring\/early summer, they might again do something in the winter. There are so many sports now for kids that are becoming year-round. You may play on the school team in the fall; but then you play on a traveling volleyball, or soccer team, or whatever\u2014that makes it an almost year-long activity. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe just practically looked at our numbers. We had six; and we thought, \u201cIf all six of ours are doing one activity, that\u2019s a lot of running around.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Would adding a part-time job be an activity? Could they do a part-time job and be on the track team?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It kind of depended.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Okay.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>I mean, yes. Our kids did part-time jobs too. All of our kids started working at Chick-fil-A<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> at 14\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Okay.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>\u2014which meant more driving for me because they weren\u2019t driving at 14. So, I\u2019m taking them to the mall for their job at Chick-fil-A. Part of the reason they all worked at Chick-fil-A\u2014my daughter reminded me for this broadcast\u2014she said: \u201cMom, I got a job at Chick-fil-A because I didn\u2019t have enough allowance from you to buy my clothes. I wanted some cool clothes; so, I went to work at Chick-fil-A to earn extra money.\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>But even the jobs that our children did were not more than about ten hours a week.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes. It was minimal.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>We did not overdo that because it was a 23-minute drive from our house, one way, to Chick-fil-A to make the drop-off. Then it was another 23 minutes back, one way, to pick them up.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>And plus, back then, Bob, there had been research done that even children who are straight-A students or who are good at sports, there is no drop-off\u2014this is how I recall the statistic\u2014there was no drop-off in performance, either academically or in sports, with a child who worked around ten hours a week. When you moved it up and a child was starting to work twenty hours a week or more, that proved to be a problem.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Well, here\u2019s what I\u2019m thinking: \u201cThere\u2019s only so much time you have after school to get your homework done, to relax, to\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> \u2014\u201ceat,\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014\u201cto eat; and then, in the middle of that, is\u2014whatever sport \/ whatever job\u2014everything else crammed into that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt can be challenging\u2014and especially for parents of three, four, five, six kids.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Multiple kids. Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>To keep all that juggled had to be a chore for you guys.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes, it really was a juggling act, but we did our best to manage it so that we didn\u2019t have too many kids doing too many activities. We just did our best. We had some overlap. We ate some meals in the car on the way to ball games or whatever\u2014it\u2019s just a part of it. But we also kept a goal of having dinner together, as a family, a certain number of nights a week. We just worked at that. If you don\u2019t have a goal, you don\u2019t achieve anything. So, if you have a goal that you\u2019re going to eat together three nights a week and you don\u2019t hit it, okay. You may have eaten together once around the table, but that\u2019s better than none. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLook at all that you have, and figure out: \u201cWhat are your priorities? What are your values, as a family?\u201d Having dinner is a very worthy goal to have in your family. So, how often can you accomplish that? Getting homework done has to be done. How are you going to accomplish that? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDecide what those most important activities are, and try to schedule around those. Try to make those a priority in your schedule, knowing you won\u2019t do it all the time; and then see where everything else can fit. If it can\u2019t fit, then you have to start cutting.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>One of the things that was kind of in addition to extracurricular activities, sports, and academics that our children were going through\u2014was we wanted our children to be a part of being an influence in their school for Christ. We started an outreach program called RSVP, which was an outreach to the school. We brought in speakers, we brought in magicians, we brought in bands\u2014Christian bands to play, who gave their testimonies. We had some pretty cool talent come to our children\u2019s junior high and high school. We charged the students a buck to attend. They got as many pieces of pizza, for the most part, that they could eat. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSome of the guys kind of stuffed their mouths a little too much, but anyway\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>And these were always evening activities\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>\u2014a couple times a semester.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And you guys did this, as parents?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, yes. We helped our kids. It was our idea; but we gave it to them and said, \u201cDo you want to do this?\u201d So, they\u2019re the ones that came up with the name. They\u2019re the ones that decided how they wanted to do it because we wanted them to learn leadership skills, we wanted them to learn to reach out to their friends, and figure out the logistics of organizing an event\u2014I mean, all of that stuff\u2014ordering the pizza and figuring it all out. I mean, those are great lessons for them to learn. That was another thing that we were all involved in together.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>But in the process, our children learned about how to be an influence for Christ in the midst of a secular community. I think, as we send our kids off to school, that\u2019s one of the lessons we\u2019re trying to impart to them. It\u2019s not just about education, although that is the primary reason kids go to school\u2014it is about being educated\u2014but it\u2019s also about growing in your faith and using the platform of your school as an opportunity to share your faith in Christ with others.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Let me ask you, though, about the other half of the day. I\u2019m talking about the hours between when the alarm went off and when they left for school.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Did you get the kids? Were they on their own for getting themselves up?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It was mostly\u2014that was an age-related thing too.

One of the things that Barbara has done is\u2014she\u2019s put together a number of books that are called <em>Growing Together<\/em>.

There are three other\u2014<em>Growing Together in Gratitude, Growing Together in Forgiveness, <\/em>and<em> Growing Together in Truth<\/em>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis one\u2014about growing together in courage\u2014I think is really relevant today with what kids [have] to face in the culture. As parents, we need to be the ones that train them to do that. A good story\u2014not just a good story\u2014these are <em>exceptional<\/em> stories that parents can read and interact with their children.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It\u2019s a real easy way to have a conversation with your children. It doesn\u2019t matter what their ages are. You can read these to a five-year-old or a six-year-old; and you can read them out loud to your kids, who are sixteen and seventeen because I think stories of people\u2019s lives can be inspirational at any age. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s a whole lot easier to read a story about someone who made a courageous decision than it is to get in your kid\u2019s face and say, \u201cYou need to be courageous,\u201d when they don\u2019t really even know how to describe being courageous. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think giving a living illustration that they can imagine by listening to somebody\u2019s story is a better way for them to understand what it means to be courageous when you\u2019re facing a bully, or to be courageous when someone is calling you a liar, or to be courageous when someone is challenging what you believe about God. If you have a story in mind and you\u2019ve heard about how someone else did it, it\u2019s easier, then, to know how to respond yourself.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>If our listeners are interested, we have copies of the book, <em>Growing Together in Courage<\/em>, in the <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> Resource Center.

I think it\u2019s a good combination. I think it\u2019s a great place for moms and dads to talk about it together and give a unified approach because it\u2019s not one over the other.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I think where most of the bullying occurs, though, is over the Internet and late at night on phones. I had a leader of a Christian school tell me that one of the biggest challenges parents in his school were facing is that of phone calls that our occurring after midnight on cell phones\u2014and cyber-bullying of boys and girls around sex\u2014boys of boys \/ girls of girls. A pack of girls can really turn on another girl and can make life extremely miserable and completely tear her down. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think here\u2019s where parents have to really talk to their children in advance about, \u201cWhat do you do if\u2026\u201d and maybe role-play some of these issues in advance to talk to your children about, \u201cHow do you handle that?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>The other thing parents can do is you take your phones away. Our daughter just started doing that with her kids. At night\u2014there\u2019s a basket in the kitchen. The two older kids, who have phones\u2014the phones don\u2019t go upstairs to the bedroom with them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe phones go in the basket when they go upstairs. You know, so much of this is allowing your kids to be exposed to things over and over again that they don\u2019t need to hear. They don\u2019t have the maturity to see through this stuff\u2014to see it for what it is\u2014so they take it personally. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne great solution is just to not let your kids even possess their phones in their bedrooms because then they\u2019re not going to be on them at night. They need to be sleeping at midnight so they can do what they need to do at school the next day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Let me squeeze in one more question, here, that came off the internet.

I wanted them to succeed. When you don\u2019t get your homework done, you\u2019re just setting yourself up for failure at some different level. I know our daughter has done a <em>really<\/em> good job of letting her son, who doesn\u2019t like to do homework, not do his homework and suffer the natural consequences. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think it\u2019s a combination of coaching them\u2014helping them understand that: \u201cIf you don\u2019t do your homework, you\u2019re not going to make a good grade on the test; and therefore, your grades are going to suffer,\u201d\u2014and helping them see the long-range objective: \u201cIf you want to go to college, you have to be thinking about that when you\u2019re a freshman and a sophomore, not when you\u2019re a senior.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s coaching, it\u2019s helping, it\u2019s finding the best time of day for them to do it\u2014whether it\u2019s right after school, or do they need to have a break and do it right after dinner? It\u2019s also letting some natural consequences take effect, too, because, when they don\u2019t do it and they find out that it really would have been better if they had done their homework, they\u2019re going to be a whole lot more likely to do it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>20:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I know a dad who is the father of a seventh-grade boy.

Boy, this sounds really, really tough; but this dad just said, \u201cYou know, we\u2019re going to redo seventh grade till you get this right.\u201d You know, at some point, if they don\u2019t pass, then they don\u2019t pass.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Circumstances were such that this father could do this without it crushing the young man\u2019s identity\u2014he switched schools in the process.

We\u2019re grateful any time we hear from you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>23:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThank you for standing with us in this important work. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIf you can help with a donation today, we\u2019d like to express our thanks by sending you a book by Dennis and Barbara Rainey that\u2019s all about praying together, as a couple. It\u2019s called <em>Two Hearts Praying as One<\/em>. It\u2019s our thank-you gift when you go to FamilyLifeToday.com and click the link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen that says, \u201cI CARE.\u201d Make an online donation; or call 1-800-FL-TODAY\u2014make a donation over the phone. Or you can mail your donation to <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> at PO \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBox 7111, Little Rock, AR; and our zip code is 72223.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd by the way, if the donation you make today is the first donation you\u2019ve made during 2015, we\u2019ll add a special thank-you gift when you get in touch with us to donate today. We will send you a prayer card that\u2019s designed to equip you on how to pray for your family during particularly challenging times. So, we hope to hear from you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>24:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd we hope you have a great weekend. Hope you and your family are able to worship together this weekend in church, and I hope you can join us back on Monday. David Platt is going to be here. We\u2019re going to talk about ways in which the church and the culture are colliding and how we, as followers of Christ, need to represent Him in the middle of that collision.

So, we once again have Barbara joining us. Welcome back.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Thank you, Bob.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And we\u2019re going to tackle some of these questions related to how we get ready for the coming school year. One of the first questions was all about\u2014not about classes, and not about clothes, or school supplies\u2014it\u2019s about that period of time from 3:30 until, I don\u2019t know, 10:00 at night\u2014that can be crammed up with all kinds of extra school activities \/ extracurricular activities\u2014whether it\u2019s sports, or music, or dance, or gymnastics. You had six kids.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>That\u2019s a lot of extracurricular. Did you have a way to handle what extracurricular was going to look like?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes. We came up with a pretty simple rule. It provided some challenges, but we were <em>very <\/em>unified on this rule\u2014and that was that our kids could only do one activity in a season. Now, sometimes, they\u2014you know, seasons can be short. If they did\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>\u2014they overlapped.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes. So, if our boys did Little League in the spring\/early summer, they might again do something in the winter. There are so many sports now for kids that are becoming year-round. You may play on the school team in the fall; but then you play on a traveling volleyball, or soccer team, or whatever\u2014that makes it an almost year-long activity. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe just practically looked at our numbers. We had six; and we thought, \u201cIf all six of ours are doing one activity, that\u2019s a lot of running around.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Would adding a part-time job be an activity? Could they do a part-time job and be on the track team?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It kind of depended.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Okay.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>I mean, yes. Our kids did part-time jobs too. All of our kids started working at Chick-fil-A<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> at 14\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Okay.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>\u2014which meant more driving for me because they weren\u2019t driving at 14. So, I\u2019m taking them to the mall for their job at Chick-fil-A. Part of the reason they all worked at Chick-fil-A\u2014my daughter reminded me for this broadcast\u2014she said: \u201cMom, I got a job at Chick-fil-A because I didn\u2019t have enough allowance from you to buy my clothes. I wanted some cool clothes; so, I went to work at Chick-fil-A to earn extra money.\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>But even the jobs that our children did were not more than about ten hours a week.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes. It was minimal.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>We did not overdo that because it was a 23-minute drive from our house, one way, to Chick-fil-A to make the drop-off. Then it was another 23 minutes back, one way, to pick them up.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>And plus, back then, Bob, there had been research done that even children who are straight-A students or who are good at sports, there is no drop-off\u2014this is how I recall the statistic\u2014there was no drop-off in performance, either academically or in sports, with a child who worked around ten hours a week. When you moved it up and a child was starting to work twenty hours a week or more, that proved to be a problem.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Well, here\u2019s what I\u2019m thinking: \u201cThere\u2019s only so much time you have after school to get your homework done, to relax, to\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> \u2014\u201ceat,\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014\u201cto eat; and then, in the middle of that, is\u2014whatever sport \/ whatever job\u2014everything else crammed into that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt can be challenging\u2014and especially for parents of three, four, five, six kids.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Multiple kids. Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>To keep all that juggled had to be a chore for you guys.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes, it really was a juggling act, but we did our best to manage it so that we didn\u2019t have too many kids doing too many activities. We just did our best. We had some overlap. We ate some meals in the car on the way to ball games or whatever\u2014it\u2019s just a part of it. But we also kept a goal of having dinner together, as a family, a certain number of nights a week. We just worked at that. If you don\u2019t have a goal, you don\u2019t achieve anything. So, if you have a goal that you\u2019re going to eat together three nights a week and you don\u2019t hit it, okay. You may have eaten together once around the table, but that\u2019s better than none. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLook at all that you have, and figure out: \u201cWhat are your priorities? What are your values, as a family?\u201d Having dinner is a very worthy goal to have in your family. So, how often can you accomplish that? Getting homework done has to be done. How are you going to accomplish that? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDecide what those most important activities are, and try to schedule around those. Try to make those a priority in your schedule, knowing you won\u2019t do it all the time; and then see where everything else can fit. If it can\u2019t fit, then you have to start cutting.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>One of the things that was kind of in addition to extracurricular activities, sports, and academics that our children were going through\u2014was we wanted our children to be a part of being an influence in their school for Christ. We started an outreach program called RSVP, which was an outreach to the school. We brought in speakers, we brought in magicians, we brought in bands\u2014Christian bands to play, who gave their testimonies. We had some pretty cool talent come to our children\u2019s junior high and high school. We charged the students a buck to attend. They got as many pieces of pizza, for the most part, that they could eat. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSome of the guys kind of stuffed their mouths a little too much, but anyway\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>And these were always evening activities\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>\u2014a couple times a semester.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And you guys did this, as parents?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, yes. We helped our kids. It was our idea; but we gave it to them and said, \u201cDo you want to do this?\u201d So, they\u2019re the ones that came up with the name. They\u2019re the ones that decided how they wanted to do it because we wanted them to learn leadership skills, we wanted them to learn to reach out to their friends, and figure out the logistics of organizing an event\u2014I mean, all of that stuff\u2014ordering the pizza and figuring it all out. I mean, those are great lessons for them to learn. That was another thing that we were all involved in together.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>But in the process, our children learned about how to be an influence for Christ in the midst of a secular community. I think, as we send our kids off to school, that\u2019s one of the lessons we\u2019re trying to impart to them. It\u2019s not just about education, although that is the primary reason kids go to school\u2014it is about being educated\u2014but it\u2019s also about growing in your faith and using the platform of your school as an opportunity to share your faith in Christ with others.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Let me ask you, though, about the other half of the day. I\u2019m talking about the hours between when the alarm went off and when they left for school.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Did you get the kids? Were they on their own for getting themselves up?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It was mostly\u2014that was an age-related thing too. I mean, if they were younger, I would wake them up. But as they got older\u2014I mean, even late elementary school\u2014if they were prone to sleep in, then they had an alarm and had to start learning to get up on their own, and get going on their own, and\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>And if they didn\u2019t? If they overslept\u2014missed the alarm \/ something happened\u2014and now they\u2019re up; but it\u2019s 20 minutes after they were supposed to be at school\u2014did you take them to school?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Well, I didn\u2019t leave them that late. I mean, if they weren\u2019t up and downstairs pretty quickly, I was going and finding them, and bringing them down, and getting stressed\u2014I\u2019m sure. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>I just remember when I was their age. I knew that the carpool was coming at 20 minutes till eight.

We have to teach our kids how to be courageous as they head off to school.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. One of the things that Barbara has done is\u2014she\u2019s put together a number of books that are called <em>Growing Together<\/em>. The one I\u2019m holding is <em>Growing Together in Courage<\/em>. There are three other\u2014<em>Growing Together in Gratitude, Growing Together in Forgiveness, <\/em>and<em> Growing Together in Truth<\/em>. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis one\u2014about growing together in courage\u2014I think is really relevant today with what kids [have] to face in the culture. As parents, we need to be the ones that train them to do that. A good story\u2014not just a good story\u2014these are <em>exceptional<\/em> stories that parents can read and interact with their children.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>It\u2019s a real easy way to have a conversation with your children. It doesn\u2019t matter what their ages are. You can read these to a five-year-old or a six-year-old; and you can read them out loud to your kids, who are sixteen and seventeen because I think stories of people\u2019s lives can be inspirational at any age. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s a whole lot easier to read a story about someone who made a courageous decision than it is to get in your kid\u2019s face and say, \u201cYou need to be courageous,\u201d when they don\u2019t really even know how to describe being courageous. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think giving a living illustration that they can imagine by listening to somebody\u2019s story is a better way for them to understand what it means to be courageous when you\u2019re facing a bully, or to be courageous when someone is calling you a liar, or to be courageous when someone is challenging what you believe about God. If you have a story in mind and you\u2019ve heard about how someone else did it, it\u2019s easier, then, to know how to respond yourself.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>If our listeners are interested, we have copies of the book, <em>Growing Together in Courage<\/em>, in the <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> Resource Center.

I\u2019ve tried to teach him about wisdom\u2014about hanging around with the right group of friends. My husband wants to teach him to fight back. What do you recommend?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>And see, I think it\u2019s a combination of both. I think it\u2019s helping them understand what it means to be courageous \/ helping them understand what it means to stand your ground and to not give in\u2014to what somebody is pressuring you to do, or suggesting you do, or threatening you with\u2014and then it is knowing how to fight back if you have to fight back. I think it\u2019s a good combination. I think it\u2019s a great place for moms and dads to talk about it together and give a unified approach because it\u2019s not one over the other.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I think where most of the bullying occurs, though, is over the Internet and late at night on phones. I had a leader of a Christian school tell me that one of the biggest challenges parents in his school were facing is that of phone calls that our occurring after midnight on cell phones\u2014and cyber-bullying of boys and girls around sex\u2014boys of boys \/ girls of girls. A pack of girls can really turn on another girl and can make life extremely miserable and completely tear her down. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think here\u2019s where parents have to really talk to their children in advance about, \u201cWhat do you do if\u2026\u201d and maybe role-play some of these issues in advance to talk to your children about, \u201cHow do you handle that?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>The other thing parents can do is you take your phones away. Our daughter just started doing that with her kids. At night\u2014there\u2019s a basket in the kitchen. The two older kids, who have phones\u2014the phones don\u2019t go upstairs to the bedroom with them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe phones go in the basket when they go upstairs. You know, so much of this is allowing your kids to be exposed to things over and over again that they don\u2019t need to hear. They don\u2019t have the maturity to see through this stuff\u2014to see it for what it is\u2014so they take it personally. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne great solution is just to not let your kids even possess their phones in their bedrooms because then they\u2019re not going to be on them at night. They need to be sleeping at midnight so they can do what they need to do at school the next day.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Let me squeeze in one more question, here, that came off the internet. This is about homework.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>All kids have it. Do we monitor that, and\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Kind of sounds like a disease\u2014[Laughter]\u2014\u201cAll kids have it.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Did you try to supervise and monitor: \u201cAre you getting your homework done? How much do you have tonight?\u201d Or did you just leave it up to the child to handle his or her own homework?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>I probably asked the question way too many times because I\u2014like a lot of parents, I really wanted my kids to do well. I wanted them to succeed. When you don\u2019t get your homework done, you\u2019re just setting yourself up for failure at some different level. I know our daughter has done a <em>really<\/em> good job of letting her son, who doesn\u2019t like to do homework, not do his homework and suffer the natural consequences. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think it\u2019s a combination of coaching them\u2014helping them understand that: \u201cIf you don\u2019t do your homework, you\u2019re not going to make a good grade on the test; and therefore, your grades are going to suffer,\u201d\u2014and helping them see the long-range objective: \u201cIf you want to go to college, you have to be thinking about that when you\u2019re a freshman and a sophomore, not when you\u2019re a senior.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s coaching, it\u2019s helping, it\u2019s finding the best time of day for them to do it\u2014whether it\u2019s right after school, or do they need to have a break and do it right after dinner? It\u2019s also letting some natural consequences take effect, too, because, when they don\u2019t do it and they find out that it really would have been better if they had done their homework, they\u2019re going to be a whole lot more likely to do it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>20:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I know a dad who is the father of a seventh-grade boy. This is not the only area where the young lad is kind of struggling. He spent a good amount of time in the principal\u2019s office\u2014and not working there to help the principal out\u2014but to visit with him just repeatedly about behavior in class. Boy, this sounds really, really tough; but this dad just said, \u201cYou know, we\u2019re going to redo seventh grade till you get this right.\u201d You know, at some point, if they don\u2019t pass, then they don\u2019t pass.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara: <\/strong>Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Circumstances were such that this father could do this without it crushing the young man\u2019s identity\u2014he switched schools in the process. I think the point for parents\u2014it\u2019s back to an earlier topic that we talked about\u2014these are days that demand parents be very, very courageous. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>21:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey need to be men and women of faith, who know what their boundaries are \/ what they stand for.
