Welcome back to our linkup and Happy Father’s Day! This is our Father’s Day edition. I know this may sound like a duh statement, but fathers are so important to families. Great fathers raise children in love and point the way to our Almighty Father and God.

My wonderful husband is a great father. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

I miss my father this Father’s Day.

I hope you all are having wonderful times with the fathers in your life. I miss my father. He died in May 1999, but I have excellent fathers in my life, including my husband whom really exemplifies how fathers should love their children.

Today, our pastor spoke on the importance of fathers, and how we as parents should strive to help our children develop in obedience through love and encouragement not by authoritarian parenting methods that lead to children feeling abused and unloved if they do not measure up to our standards.

What are your thoughts on parenting? What great books and resources can you share? In honor of the Father’s Day holiday here are some of my favorite posts on parenting:

• Literacy Musing Mondays: How to Cultivate Love in Family

• Prayers for Learning

• A Creative Look at Early Childcare Quality

• Finding Joy and Laughter in Parenting

• Parenting Series: Toddler Years and Dialogic Reading

• A Mother’s Calling

• Sweet Whispers of a Mother’s Love

Now on to our weekly Literacy Musing Monday’s linkup where we link up posts about what inspires you in reading, writing, blogging, and even share our written Bible devotions.
