And I truly believe that the Lord uses it to help us grow into the image of Christ while leading our children down the right path. Consistency is what's worked best with my son. He needs me to be consistent in the limits that I place. And that requires me being around to enforce the limits. It's really hard sometimes. When I look back to how he acted and now how he has grown I'm so grateful that I was faithful with teaching him limits and didn't give up. God bless my friend, Eren Mckay Hi Ann,

A few months ago, God began to work on me in the same way He's been working on you. Thank you for sharing your growth - it has opened up a few more thought processes in my own mind as I deal with my daughter!
