Q: Node.js promises and call backs and asyncs So I have done C++ Java and PHP and wanted to give a crack at Node.js. Below I have a very simple and unsecured SQL query.
module.exports = {
  LoginCheck: function(data,cb){
    console.log(data.password);
    console.log(data.username);
    if(data.username && data.password){
        console.log('we have arrived');
        var config = require(__dirname+'/../Config/config.json');
        var mysql = require('mysql');
        var con = mysql.createConnection({
            host: config.LoginDBhost,
            port: config.LoginDBport,
            user: config.LoginDBusername,
            password: config.LoginDBpassword,
            database: config.LoginDB
            });
        con.connect(function(err) {
          if (err) throw err;
            console.log('we have connected');
          con.query("SELECT * FROM `Users` WHERE `Username` = '"+data.username+"'", function (err, result) {
            if (err) console.log(err);
            if(result.Password){
                if(result[0].Password){
                    if(result[0].Password == data.password){
                        console.log('true');
                        cb(true);
                    }
                }
            }

          });
        });
    }
    //either password is null or didnt match on file... if we are this far its a fail
    console.log('false');
    cb(false);
  },
  bar: function () {
    // whateverss
  }
};

The code does not wait for the sql connection and skips to being false. I been banging my head on a desk for days trying to figure out how promises and callbacks works after years of having my code follow steps layed.
Could someone convert this and explain how to force my code to be synchronous when I need it to be?

A: Try this code :
module.exports = {
  LoginCheck: function(data,cb){
    console.log(data.password);
    console.log(data.username);
    if(data.username && data.password){
        console.log('we have arrived');
        var config = require(__dirname+'/../Config/config.json');
        var mysql = require('mysql');
        var con = mysql.createConnection({
            host: config.LoginDBhost,
            port: config.LoginDBport,
            user: config.LoginDBusername,
            password: config.LoginDBpassword,
            database: config.LoginDB
            });
        con.connect(function(err) {
          // I think cb(false) here but you use throw err.
          if (err) throw err;
          console.log('we have connected');
          con.query("SELECT * FROM `Users` WHERE `Username` = '"+data.username+"'", function (err, result) {
            if (err) console.log(err);
            if(result.Password){
                if(result[0].Password){
                    if(result[0].Password == data.password){
                        console.log('true');
                        cb(true);
                    }
                }
            }

            //either password is null or didn't match on file... if we are this far its a fail
            console.log('false');
            cb(false);

          });
        });
    }
  },
  bar: function () {

Torchlight II is supposedly coming out this year. In a time period where Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Assassin's Creed Revelations, and I don't even know what else because the games industry is too stupid to not ship everything in Q4 and hi, welcome to the end of this sentence.
Torchlight II is out soon.
Are you excited? I'm excited. They seem to have addressed my main problems with the first (which I loved, mind you) and even added in multiplayer. (Which I can't use because the lag would mean I was more hindrance than help, but hey.)

What do you think the main problems were with Torchlight? For me it was just that it got boring, probably because being so generic. I played until level 13 or something around there (or maybe it was around 20), but it didn't really provide enough variety or interesting stuff for me to want to keep going. Actually I had the same issue with Diablo 2, never finished that.

I suspect that if you couldn't maintain interest in Diablo 2, this may just not be your genre. That's sort of the peak of it.
That said, I am quite excited for Torchlight 2, despite knowing next to nothing about it. I actually didn't finish the first, largely because the abilities felt overly similar to one another (and also didn't feel all that much more powerful as you levelled them up) and I felt like I'd seen all that the customization had to offer around level 30-ish. If they put a bit more variety in, that should be enough to carry me to the end.
Yeah, probably. But I did enjoy Diablo 1, Revenant (although it was awful in many ways) and Darkstone, and to a lesser extent Dungeon Siege 1. I guess they had some goofiness or novelty to them that compensated for my non-genre-tunedness.
I suspect Diablo 3 will be interesting for me as well, but not sure about Torchlight 2.
Did you play D2 when it was new, or years after the fact?
Because I can't fucking stand that game anymore. It is old and decrepit. I loved it so much when I had it as a kid, but these days I can't even begin to dream of playing it.
Torchlight (1) was just so much better. Only thing it was missing was multiplayer. Can't wait for the sequel.
Diablo 3 is a game I would be interested in if Blizzard was the Blizzard of yesteryear instead of this year. They are kind of boring, now.

The first one is my most-played game on Steam at 70+ hours if that's any indication. Torchlight (and I'm hoping Torchlight 2) occupies a different gaming role for me than Skyrim/Uncharted 3/Assassin's Creed Revelations in that it's something I can kind of tune out and play (on normal difficulty anyways) while simultaneously watching something on the TV.
My main complaint with the first one would be that there's all sorts of issues with equipment and (some) abilities not scaling with enemies properly in the postgame infinite dungeon thingy. Which is not that big a complaint, since it's generally more interesting to start over with a new character class by that point anyways.
Sorry; I thought I replied to this.
Some of my problems were similar to yours, but I've come to realize that's just the nature of aRPGs. They're all essentially the same.
However, changing up environment and weather can do wonders. Get your player decapitating in the daylight and at the 100th decapitation they'll get bored, but add a rainstorm and lightning and suddenly, atmospherically, it changes, and it becomes fresh again. They've added environments, made character classes a bit more varied and gotten rid of that one single, eternal dungeon.
So I should say: They fixed the things that aren't inherent to aRPGs, which is nice.

Actually I had the same issue with Diablo 2, never finished that.
As much as I love Diablo, I did always stop on Diablo 2 in the jungle. I've see the other parts of the game as I just watched my friends play, but by that point(and I think the thumbs commented it was the worst part of the game too) I just felt like I've done everything the game has to offer.
Torchlight I played much, much, much less. I love those guys for what they have done and they created a really nice game with Torchlight, but the setting/art style just didn't capture me as much as Diablo did. A lot of how much I like a game depends on that; just my preference, I don't think Torchlight's setting/style was bad, just too goofy for what I'd want out of that kind of game.
Will the Shitty Wizard return in Torchlight 2?

Got in the beta and played for a couple hours tonight. Any Thumbs playing it right now?
How is it? Gameplay videos indicated it was a more fast-paced than the original, which I'm not sure is a good thing.

I'm excited. I haven't pre-ordered yet, but I just might. Buying a 4-pack with three other people seems like the reasonable thing to do, once again.
So, based off of a suggestion, I was wondering if anyone had an extra copy of the original Torchlight? I'd appreciate being gifted it. I own it, personally, so this is meant for someone else.
If possible.
Sorry if this is rude.

If the shitty wizard does make a comeback, I'm hoping for some way to respond to that always-delightful 'and removes all your enchantments!'. Nothing violent, it's not really his fault he's a shitty wizard, but perhaps a complaints process so we can be assured it'll show up on his performance evaluation.
Otherwise, it might be time for a shitty wizard boycott, and I don't think anyone wants that.
Speaking of shitty wizards, I was playing Torchlight today. I had (note the past tense) amazing shoulder armor for my vanquisher, had like +15 dexterity and other useful enchantments. Of course I was greedy, so I went to meet the wizard. 1% chance of disenchant, no problem. First try and it was all over.
So, I moved my cursor behind the shitty wizard, held down shift and clicked. As the gunshot was still figuratively ringing in my ears, I quickly turned away, to not see what happened (or didn't happen) to him. In that playthrough, no wizards inhabit Torchlight.
In between bouts of D3 hardcore stress, I finally beat Torchlight on very hard hardcore, but not before an enchantment shrine ruined the best fucking bow I'd ever had up to that point. (I was playing Vanquisher.) I almost died, but managed to come back and find another, better one later. But goddamnit. At least it wasn't the wizard what did it?
Also, Torchlight II is neat. I like the engineer and the outlander. I didn't play it much before my allotted time ran out, though, because I'd rather just wait for the full game. There're a lot of nitpicky issues that I'm hoping are just because the game is still a WIP. I don't remember what any of those issues WERE, now, but at the time they really bugged me!

So one thing I was talking to my friends about while playing D3 was how I wished there was a target dummy in the town and how annoying it was having to try out stuff on random monsters. Well when I was playing the TL2 beta the other day before it ended I went in to town and BAM, there's a target dummy. I smiled.

My friend was saying the same thing the other night in D3. "This game needs target dummies like in Dungeon Defenders" Glad to hear they are in TL2.

If you follow me on Instagram you would know that i'm in London and am doing quite a bit of exploring and walking about. I've made my way to this cozy little coffee place on Charles II Street called The Borough Barista after a good 2 and a half hour walk from Waterloo over the Waterloo bridge, walked down the Victoria Embankment, back over the other side via another bridge to the Jubilee Gardens and then back across the Westminster Bridge to Big Ben and the Parliament Square, where i bumped into good old Winston Churchill and later on Abe Lincoln; they weren't in a very talkative mood though, oh well.
Anyway, i then continued walking, even though my feet were in all sorts of pain, and made my way to the beautiful St. James Park, unfortunately i couldn't spend as much time as i would have liked due to my howling feet and very empty stomach, so i continued walking until I saw this little sign saying "British Coffee" and I just had to take a look 😉 (note, i essentially had no idea where I was walking, i just went with the flow).
So yea, one good ham sandwich and Piccolo later i'm sitting here with Ivy (my MacBook) out rambling on about how I spent a lot of time walking about London toda…. wait wait… circular-spirally-thought path alert.
Anyway, it's now Day 5 of my trip, #ArkayInTheUK, and i'm thoroughly enjoying myself, despite the cold, the 4:30pm sunsets and aching, aching feet. Kingston is my primary base and a lovely little town at that. Spent the first 3 days exploring and walking about; didn't find any good coffee but i found plenty to see 🙂 I finally made me way out of Kingston and into London yesterday, and i was not disspointed at all with my day. Lunch with my uncle and aunt, where i was force fed a lot of rice and chicken curry ;), was followed up by a 2+ hour walk from Bethnal Green to Covent Garden, which hurt a helluva lot, but which i have no regrets about.
#day2. Chilling at the park in the cold, watching families play in the park, people walk their dogs, kids playing football on a nice pitch one side and watching two local teams battle it out on this side as the last of beautiful leafs fall. Sometimes I can't belief I'm actually here and fear that it's all a dream & I'll wake up. Thank you so much for this mum & dad. #day2 #arkayintheuk #hellolondon2013.
During my 2+ hour walk, that went through Holburn, I saw the transition from Old London to Central, which was amazing, it was like a journey through time. My favourite part so far of London has been the parks and the architecture, the old grand building that I only say in movies growing up, and the fact that i'm actually here, looking at them with my own eyes, takes me way back and i find myself feeling like a little kid in awe of this big city. It is something that I partially cannot believe, half expecting to wake up and find myself back at home in bed.
This city is so old, so full of history and class, yet so vibrant and new at the same time.
A#Day4: I'm at a slight loss for words right now.. 3 floors of awesomeness apple stuff & more! So many third party things too!!! #london #coventgarden #hellolondon2013 #arkayintheuk #nofilter — at Apple Store.
I know it's still early on in my trip, but I'm really really really loving it so far and am so excited because there's still so much to do! So much that sometimes it feels a little overwhelming, but i guess that's better than underwhelming, i've just got to plan it all out and i'll be good :).
#Day4: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." #gandhi.
I think i've rested up enough, going to get back on my feet, and like Johnnie, keep walking. Check out my instragam, @arkaysthoughts for more pics of my trip so far, and my walking paths.

About Louise Parkes
Dujardin delights with Freestyle win as British dominate at Olympia
Louise Parkes
FEI Press Release by Louise Parkes
Personal best for second-placed Hester: Rising star Fry takes third
Charlotte Dujardin produced a superb victory with Mount St John Freestyle before an ecstatic home crowd at the FEI Dressage World Cup™ 2019/2020 Western European League qualifier in the Grand Hall at Olympia, London (GBR) tonight. And to put the icing on the British Christmas cake, her compatriots Carl Hester and Charlotte Fry lined up in second and third.
It was an evening of great theatre, with Dujardin's charming 10-year-old mare producing a stunning test for a mark of 87.520 to take the lead when fourth-last to go, only for a technical hitch to delay the scores of the three who followed. Still waiting for the final result, the riders were all sent back to the stables while Santa took over the arena for his Christmas Finale. But finally the red carpet was rolled back out again, and it was Dujardin who led the British victory gallop.
Charlotte Dujardin (GBR) & Mount St John Freestyle – FEI Dressage World Cup™ Grand Prix Freestyle – Olympia – The London International Horse Show (FEI/Jon Stroud)
She was delighted with the performance of her mare who has clearly matured a great deal since showing her massive potential at last year's FEI World Equestrian Games in Tryon, USA where she claimed two bronze medals. Freestyle's freshness and freedom of movement, the elegance and height of her passage and the expressiveness of her extended canter were just some of today's highlights. And the horse really seemed to be enjoying herself tonight, her big ears pricked as she gave her rider her full attention.
"It's only her third time doing that test, she's very inexperienced at Freestyle and I'm so pleased with her. The atmosphere was buzzing, it was a full house and I could really feel it when I rode in. But she's coping better and I couldn't have asked any more from her!" said the winning rider who, though still only 34 years old, is a legend of the sport following her world-beating career with the now-retired Valegro.
Her friend and mentor, Hester, followed her into the ring and put a score of 84.470 on the board with a lovely performance with Hawtins Delicato. "A personal best, I can't believe that at my age!" laughed the 52-year-old who has long been a huge influence in this sport. He was sitting back in the stable area when he learned his result – "one of my girls texted me and said you got an amazing score – it was a bit of a weird way to hear about it!" he added.
Fry was second-last to go, and the 23-year-old, who alongside Dujardin and Hester was a member of the British side that finished fourth at this summer's FEI European Championships, produced a score of 82.620 with the 10-year-old stallion Everdale. This was good enough to pip the final partnership, and last year's Olympia winners, Germany's Frederic Wandres and Duke of Britain who finished a close fourth with 82.550 this time around.
Hester said tonight that although he was happy with the way things turned out today he realises he needs to put more pressure on himself, because he continues to have big ambitions. "It was clear after the Grand Prix test yesterday that this horse needs to get out more. I know I need to get myself committed – this happens before every Olympics!" said the man who has competed at five of them, taking team gold with Uthopia at the London 2012 Games, and team silver with Nip Tuck at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Dujardin confirmed that she has both the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the FEI Dressage World Cup™ Final 2020 in Las Vegas, USA in her sights now. So her plan? "Just to carry on doing what I'm doing and see how we go as we prepare for Tokyo. I'm hoping to get to Vegas in April, so I'll go to the qualifier in Amsterdam in January and maybe another after that" she explained.
She was twice winner of the FEI Dressage World Cup™ title with Valegro, taking her second title in Las Vegas in 2015. Today's result sees her move up to eighth on the Western European League table from which the top nine will qualify for the 2020 Final, so she may need another good result to ensure she makes the cut.
There are still five legs of the Western European series left to go, the next taking place at Mechelen, Belgium on 29 December.

When I first moved here, cable was really my only option unless I wanted to go with a satellite company. I liked the offer given to me by the local company because they were on an aggressive campaign to win customers from the satellite TV companies. Nowadays though, it seems people are streaming programs more than watching them as they air. That is not good news for the cable companies, but it is great news for us consumers. I looked at the different options, and I was really impressed with the bundling options that AT&T offers if you are already a customer.
I am used to companies going after new customers and saving their best promotions for them. That AT&T wants to pass on significant savings to existing customers really meant a lot to me, and it helps that the promotion I was able to get was the best one I could find anyway. I am really excited about this because I am saving a lot of money every month without having to sacrifice anything in the process. I still get all of my favorite channels, and I even get a few more that I was not able to get before. It feels good to finally feel respected as a customer!


King argues that liberal democratic policies assume illiberal characteristics insofar as they violate what he views as two core principles of liberalism: equality of treatment and respect for individual freedom. King asserts that such illiberal policies are usually justified within a threefold typology; first, through 'liberal unreason', the notion that government must make judgements about the mental competence and reasoning powers necessary for citizenship. Second, through 'liberal amelioration and collectivism', an idea by which governments have applied collectivist solutions to social problems. Finally, King contends that under the premises of a 'liberal coercive contract', governments have required specific activities of welfare recipients.


The basic operation remains the same, but now when you click Run the output will appear at the bottom of the page instead of in a new window.
All numbers, with the exception of zero and NaN, evaluate to true, including the negative numbers.
All strings with the exception of the empty string evaluate to true.
The special values undefined and null evaluate to false. (null is a literal value that can be used when you want a variable to be defined, but not hold a real value).
As you can see, the vast majority of values convert to true, so my advice is to try remember that the following convert to false: undefined, null, 0, NaN, and '' (the empty string).
A little gotcha here is that the string 'false' evaluates to true!
Let's start with equality, which is not as simple as you might think.
Notice that NaN is not considered to be exactly equal to NaN.
In many situations, most in fact, this level of equality checking is simply too precise. In the general case, we probably do want the string '4' to be considered equal to the number 4. This is where the == operator comes in.
== is a more liberal equality operator that does type conversions before comparing values. My advice is to think of this operator as is effectively equal to.
However, all is not perfectly logical – again, notice that NaN is not considered to be effectively equal to NaN.
The other outlier in the example above is 'true' == true. The value on both sides is not a string, so, the operator works numerically – true is converted to 1, and 'true' to NaN, hence, the result of the comparison is false.
Just like ==, these operators work in one of two modes – numerically, or, lexically (alphabetic comparisons).
The default behaviour is to convert the values on both sides of the operator to numbers, and compare them mathematically. Any comparison to NaN evaluates to false.
Only when both of the values are strings do the operators switch to lexical mode – that is to say, comparing the values alphabetically. One string is less than another if it would appear in the dictionary before the other.
In terms of precedence, ! has the highest precedence, then &&, and finally ||.
Before we look at branching, let's look at how to read values out of the input fields in our playground.
You can read the value from the first input with pbs.input(1), the second with pbs.input(2), and the third with pbs.input(3).
Because of how HTML text fields work, the value returned by pbs.input() is always a string. This means that you need to explicitly convert to a number before doing arithmetic, or making numeric comparisons.
Up until now all our mini examples have just been a series of statements that get executed one after the other in the order they appear in the script. Every line always gets executed. The path through the code is always the same.
Branching is the act of altering the path through code depending on some condition. If this condition is met, do this, otherwise, do that.
If the condition evaluates to true, then statement_1 will execute, otherwise, statement_2 will execute. The else part is optional. If you omit it, and the condition evaluates to false, statement_1 is simply skipped.
You can write code like this, but please don't! Develop the good habit now of always using code blocks in if statements. That is to say, wrap the statement(s) in curly braces. This will allow you to execute multiple statements on true or false evaluation instead of just one, and it will protect you from a whole class of subtle but very dangerous bugs creeping into you code. Had Apple's developers followed this simply piece of advice, the famous GO TO FAIL bug would never have happened!
This is also a good time to mention code layout again. It's universally agreed that code blocks should be indented, so that you can easily see where the if and else parts begin and end. What's nowhere near universally agreed on is where the curly braces should go. What you see above is my preferred style – a variant of the K&R style.
There is no right answer – pick one, and be consistent!
All examples in this series will use the style I prefer – a cuddled variant of K&R.
As a final example to tie everything together, let's write a more robust odd/even checker than the one in the examples above.
We'll need to take our input from the first input text box, make sure it's a number, and then check whether it's odd or even.
We have now learned about three core concepts all programming languages share – variables, operators, and branching. In the next instalment we'll learn about two more core concepts – arrays, and loops. This will give us the ability to store lists of values, and to processes them.


10th Anniversary of Action Trackchair!
The familiar adage "Time flies when you're having fun" is certainly true for Tim and Donna Swenson of Marshall who are celebrating 10 years of building and improving the Action Trackchair, an all-terrain wheelchair with tracks. The Swenson's son, Jeff, was paralyzed in an automobile accident in 1998. Tim began thinking about designing an outdoor wheelchair for Jeff soon after his accident. It wasn't until 2009 when Tim and Donna sold Action Sports, a motorsports and marine dealership, to their son, Jim and his wife, Teah, that he began to build the first prototype in his hobby shop.
Action Manufacturing Inc. was established in 2009 and his hobby shop was transformed into a manufacturing shop. By 2014, 1900 trackchairs had been built. In 2015, Tim and his employees designed an efficient, modern factory in Marshall. Today, the Action Trackchair is distributed throughout the USA and has distribution in many other countries as well. What began as a desire to help their son has grown into a global endeavor helping thousands of people with mobility related disabilities. With the Action Trackchair, people enjoy the great outdoors navigating through all types of terrain doing activities they once did or have never been able to do before.
MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE, ONE ACTION TRACKCHAIR AT A TIME!


If you really want to go wild, you can also get a life-size replica of the weapon wielded by one of Unity's characters.
If learning about the game's multiplayer wasn't enough Assassin's Creed Unity news for one day, you'll be pleased to know Ubisoft has also announced details on a collector's edition and preorder bonuses.
Unity's collector's edition doesn't have a huge number of items, but it does seem to contain some nice pieces. The main components are a 16-inch figurine of protagonist Arno standing on top of a gargoyle and a music box that plays a "remixed version" of the theme song from Assassin's Creed Unity. You'll also get a copy of the official soundtrack, an art book, a special collector's edition box, and two in-game missions: Killed by Science and The Chemical Revolution. A price wasn't mentioned, but GameStop's website lists it at $130.
The latter of those bonus missions, The Chemical Revolution, will alternatively be available as a preorder bonus for the regular edition of the game. Its name was leaked recently, but today's announcement explains what it's all about; players are tasked with helping "Lavoisier, the 'Father of Modern Chemistry,' to escape from his kidnappers and recover his poison bomb formula."
The other bonus available for preorderers is access to the online "Guillotine Spin to Win" game. Every Friday up until the game's release, players will be able to win prizes and additional spins to continue trying to win. Prizes include trips to places like Paris, Ubisoft Montreal, and Comic-Con; games; apparel; and home entertainment systems.
If buying the collector's edition isn't enough of a demonstration that you're an Assassin's Creed fan, Ubisoft also announced a life-size replica of one of protagonist Arno's weapons, the Phantom Blade, that can be displayed or worn. Described as a "limited-run" item from McFarlane Toys, it "features a functional hidden blade, retractable crossbow arms, and a soft firing dart." It'll go on sale in limited quantities in "select countries" (in the U.S., it'll cost $60) alongside the game in October.
We got confirmation at E3 today that Assassin's Creed Unity features four-player co-op support, and you can see one of the new trailers from this afternoon's Ubisoft press conference above. The game will be released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on October 28.


SAN DIEGO — Showing the other team what they're capable of doing — that was just some of their motivation on Sunday when the San Diego SeaLions took the pitch against Ajax America Women for their home opener.
The SeaLions routed Ajax 6-0 and since the beginning of the season, haven't allowed a goal in league play so far.
"As a center back it's always more important to me to have that zero up on the score board than six goals," said SeaLions' first-year defender Nikki Krzysik.
Offensively, the SeaLions have scored 10 goals, all-coming at the expense of Ajax, who they opened the season against on the road, winning 4-0.
Head Coach Jen Lalor-Nielsen said the team didn't have to make too many changes to the game plan, since the two teams' last meeting.
What she wanted to see of her team was their speed of play on the field.
Some of the quickness displayed, the SeaLions moved the ball well, has stemmed from the team's expectations for raising the bar on strength and conditioning commitment levels.
"It has been very good," Lalor-Nielsen said. With practice twice a week and the remaining time spent in the gym, Lalor-Nielsen said that has made the team more focused throughout the week.
"And it's that hard work that is going to be able to be seen in games," she said. The fitness they maintain will make the game easy, she added, and will contribute to the high level of performance.
Apart from their expected commitment levels for this season, Lalor-Nielsen said the team has their goal and they know what it is. Taking a one game-at-a-time approach, she added that they have to make sure that they're better than they were in the last game they played.

Q: How to interprete logistic regresion using Eviews having dummy variables I need your help with logistic regression analysis. My dependent variable is a dummy variable: 0 fails 1 successful.
Method: ML - Binary Logit  (Newton-Raphson / Marquardt steps)
variables and coefficient are
c=             -1.380208
comment =      -6.36E-05
updates=        0.291811
category=      -0.017782
obs with Dep : 0=    109 557
1=     76 658
My category is 13 that I also code in dummy variables and consider as control variables.
others element are good, p-value , z statistic , McFadden R-squared ...
Now is how to interpret and know which variables improve success and which one reduce success.


In almost every culture, children are valued. Historically speaking, kids are important to the family line, productive contributors to the family's vocation, and mostly a joy to live life with. Children have been an integral part of home and community economics. However, it seems that our current American culture has exalted and centered home and community life around children. We don't like to admit it, but life tends to revolve around our kids.
"…over-indulge their children, center the home around them, and some ways turn their children into idols. As parents, we often use anything and everything to place them on a pedestal–including their accomplishments, looks, personalities, and attributes–in order to impress others" (pg 16).
If our children are doing great in sports, academics, behavior, and developmental growth and milestones, we feel good about ourselves and brag about it on Facebook. However, if our children are not succeeding in these areas of life or are struggling, we feel bad about ourselves and are depressed when we read other "success" stories on Facebook. We compare and gauge our parenting with others who idolize their children as well. Our hope and security and significance as parents is often found in comparing, or reliving our failed childhood through our kids.
This should not be the case! If you believe in the Gospel of Jesus and call yourself a follower of Jesus, then your hope, security and significance is misplaced.
and loving your spouse well.
"I want my children to know where their value comes from and that their value is not based on their parents, their family name, what they do, how well they compete, their looks, their IQ, or their relationships. Their value is in Jesus" (pg 92, emphasis mine).
Often the way we parent teaches our children that their value is in how they look, perform academically, and behave. How we parent, what we say when we parent, how we respond to situations, all teaches our children some kind of value. We may not intend it, but implicit messages we send our children reflect what we really believe. You cannot change what you implicitly teach your children unless you implicitly believe it yourself. Because what you believe comes out in your parenting.
Ted Cunningham champions the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the book. Freedom from impressing others and letting go of controlling the outcome of our children's present and future is found in the simple fact that God loves you (and your children) so much and His opinion of you doesn't change with your accomplishments or failures. Jesus died and rose to new life for you and your children to bring freedom from all the trappings and idols of this life.
Read this book. It encourages your faith and challenges you to recognize and stop collecting "trophies" from and for your children.
