Many Friends

How many friends does your child actually have? Discussing with our children the definition of healthy friendships is wise as social media has helped skew its true meaning. Friendships should not be viewed as a quantity thing, but a quality thing! 

Proverbs 18:24 says, “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.” When our kids boast about all of the “friends” they have on social media, they may be boating about unwanted acquaintances or companions. To help them make wise choices, let us consider working with our kids more to establish a vetting process. This may also mean collaborating with them to determine wise limits on their number of friends.
