How to be a Good Parent
We had a very nice discussion at the Kingdom Hall today. The topic is about how to train our children the right way. I’ve learned that we must always show love in our dealings with them. Then it further expounds on 1 Corinthians 13’s definition of love. It says that love is long suffering and parents should manifest this quality especially when children are a bit naughty and hard headed. What can help is trying to recall how we were when we are kids. This will prevent us from being bitterly angry on small things.
It also taught me to be kind. We should discipline our kids in a kind manner, never too harsh or never too lax. Let our yes mean yes and no really no. You should be consistent in our discipline so as not to confuse them.
Parents with grown up children will do well if they draw what’s in the heart of their kids. They should encourage them to speak up their minds in a respectful way.
All in all it was really beneficial and I hope M0rn1ng and I can apply it so that we can be good parents to little Andre.

true ann. ako din kasi Andre has a mind of his own na ngayon and sometimes he insists on getting what he wants. Pag ayaw mo iiyak yan na parang inapi. If it’s a small thing, i give in. Pero pag non-negotiable talaga, hindi talaga. Pag sinabi kong NO no yun. Kahit umiyak pa sha. Pero maintain lang namin talaga ang composure.
Pero yun ang mahirap lalo na pag mainit yung ulo mo sa ibang bagay. Minsan yung mga kids ang napagbubuntunan.
