Yesterday, it was emphasized that you need to imbibe the intentional culture of a teacher so as to be as effective as you desire to be in your parenting task. Likewise, you must as well be intentional about giving instructions as a father or mother.
Children do better with guidance, and one of the major tool needed for guidance is instruction. When you hold back instruction from your children, they find the decision making process difficult and are more likely to act based on their impulses and the dictates of their social influences rather than following critical thinking.
Mariam, in our text today, was critical and spontaneous in her thinking because she must have gotten clear instructions from her mother. An instructor is always a lifesaver; no wonder Jochebed eventually saved her son from his destiny hunters.
