Ken’s Articles on the Christian Faith
Unique, distinctive
Two of my grand-daughters have been involved in developing a new parenting course PH360.ME.
Its focus is on the uniqueness and difference of each person on planet Earth, and how that plays out in family life. We are all so special – varying in being tall or short, fat or thin. Enjoying hot weather, or preferring cold. Liking our own company, or always needing to connect with others. Being active or sedentary.
Those are just a few pointers to the healthy uniqueness of each individual. The importance of these factors is seen in how they influence our life choices.
They are elements that need to be understood by parents when considering the behaviour, attitudes and strengths of each of their children. When as parents we recognise and understand the impact of these seemingly quite ordinary factors on young lives, we are better able to bring up our children to be the very best they can be.
During the next few weeks I can recount some of the wisdom and insights from this unique parenting course. I learnt a lot from it, even as a great-grandfather, and I think there is value in sharing some of this information here.

I hope as you visit these pages that you will find encouragement and stimulus for thought. I have discovered through all the ups and downs of life that contentment is to be found in relationship with God. May you gain glimpses here of the same reality.
