My son reminded me that I needed to work more from a spirit of patience, and I learned this when he appeared to be lacking in the area. It wasn’t enough for me to sit him down constantly speaking on the matter. I noticed his behavior began to change as my behavior changed. Parenting is a nonstop responsibility. How the home functions spiritually is important to the development of our children, and that spiritual position has an effect on how our children behave and see life. We must be careful that we aren’t teaching them poor spiritual habits because of our own. I won’t lie and say it’s easy, but it is definitely worth it.
