#789: First Aid

When out in the woods, accidents happen. A Trailman may sprain his ankle, or someone may brush up against poison ivy.During these times, a first aid kit comes in handy. But don’t you wish parenting kids came with its own first aid kit? If it did, it’d definitely include an ice pack to cool high tempers, bandages for wrapping hurt feelings, and ointment to sooth frustration away. Optional accessories might include aspirin for headache relief during those teenage years, antiseptic wipes to disinfect against worldly influences, and an emergency blanket for needed rest.Even though you may not have a parenting first aid kit, you can still provide your son consistent comfort and care. A little time and attention goes a long way in healing hurt feelings.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
