A Template for Parental Challenges
October 20th, 2006 | Published in Blog Thoughts
Someone has suggested I might have a template problem. That’s just not true. I can quit anytime.
Yesterday was a challenging day. One of those family fun days that’s not so much fun. Successful parenting includes raising children who actually like each other as adults. At the end of the day you try to explain these things to your children so they will understand the importance of getting along and being kind / nice to each other.
I marvel at how the simplicity of "treat someone like you would want to be treated" is hard to live out. It shouldn’t be a surprise because of how much trouble we adults have applying this simple truth.
