- Your child has unique temperament; work with that temperament rather than constantly battling it. You and your child will both be a lot happier.
- Your goal as a parent is not to avoid being bothered. Parenting is not for the lighthearted.
- Work with your child rather than compelling “good behavior”.
Grace and Mercy-
By no means is it our responsibility to perfect our children, however; it is important that we teach them in the ways of the Lord, that through Him they can be made perfect and whole. We need to provide the means by which they can learn that all men can be saved by grace. He accepts everyone, and works with them toward eternal perfection; not all at once, but day by day.
