#855: Parenting Patience

Don’t you wish parenting boys was easy? Wouldn’t it be great if your son always listened carefully, obeyed immediately, and behaved perfectly? The truth is—that’s rarely the case. When your son tests your patience for the hundredth time in a day, take a deep breath and remember our Savior’s example. When the Pharisees tried to trick him, He responded calmly. When the Jews demanded that He be crucified, he asked God to forgive them.Training boys takes time. It won’t happen overnight, but through patient and consistent parenting, you’ll see your son grow into a godly young man. And the more he changes spiritually within his heart, the more you’ll see positive change in his outward behavior.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
