The Sure Things from VP Scharman's

Please describe a way you will apply a leadership concept you have learned about this year as you lead in your family.

One thing which I will do is make sure that I'm consistent in word and deed. I want to walk the walk and talk the talk. It is really a form of honesty. It will be important for me to set a good example for my children and work with Hilary to rear them up in the right way. A lot of good parenting comes down to good leadership. I feel like a good example goes a lot further than a good lecture.

Vice President Scharman talked about the importance of developing structure in your home based on your individual time commitments. Describe how you believe structure and order in your family life can help you lead in you family. How can some form of structure and routine help you develop leaders in your family?

The Lord's house is a house of order and we are encouraged to build and develop our homes based on the Lord's blue prints. When there is order and structure in a family the children feel a sense of security and identity. They will know what our family characteristics and values are because they never change. The children will know what to expect from us and they will know what we expect of them. The rules and guidelines will be clear. There will be no question as to what the law of our home will be.

The form and structure of the children's upbringing will help them become effective leaders. They will know how to work and sacrifice. They will know how to work with others and respect authority because these will be values that will be stressed in our home.
