Foiliar Fertilizer

FOILIAR FERTILIZER — A fertilizer applied in liquid form to a plant’s foliage in a fine spray so that the plant can absorb the nutrients through its leaves.

While our kids are young, we find many opportunities for training and discipline. At times, it may seem these opportunities are never ending. If we remember to use these moments to train our children to grow in the direction we want them to go, we may end up with much better results than if we just tear them out of the ground, in an act of ultimate weeding, so to speak.

Kids are going to mess up. If we can reinforce our training and discipline of them as if we were using a fine mist of fertilizer, showering it over them so they can absorb it instead of indundating and drowning them out, we will tend to have a more sturdy, hardy “plant” as it reaches maturity.

We do well to remember that they are still young, that it takes more patience and an approach which can be taken in and absorbed that will aid in the growth we desire to see.
