#626: Memories Matter

At times, your son may act like an outlaw terrorizing the wild west. As sheriff, it’s your job to keep the peace and enforce the laws. But as you know, it’s easy to grow frustrated, impatient, and exhausted at having to correct him over and over again.When your blood pressure starts to rise, take time to recall moments from the past. Pull out your phone and flip through old pictures. Do you remember the day your son learned to ride a bike? Or when he won a ribbon at the science fair? Remember him jumping for joy after kicking that soccer goal? These memories help put present-day challenges in perspective. Even though life often seems hard, good times from the past will encourage you to stay strong for the future.For more parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
