There is no benefit on stirring up anger in your children. It does not pay in any way shape or form. It only causes pain for all,children and parents. As parents we must find the way to bring our children up in the training of the Lord. If we do this, we plant the seed of love, peace and understanding. No one said it is easy to do, because in order to do it well, we need to have the gift of discernment, wisdom, common sense.
In other words nothing is gained by squelching your children. Do not bully them, be patient and treat them with finesse, kindness, and respect.
Our purpose as parents is to draw the best out of our sons and daughters,to lead them understanding that people are more important than things. Parenting is an art, parents are constantly learning, it is a life experience only lived if you are a parent. In the end our children are our teachers, thanks to them we can become more competent, sensitive, patient, understanding, creative. They inspire us to become better people, better parents, better citizens, better humans. We must give them therefore our best example to emulate. Let us be accepting and not judgmental, choose our battles wisely, so that we do not lose the war.
