I can not believe how inefectively I was dealing with them! I too am guilty of freaking out and throwing my own fits! I am so grateful for Christ's forgiveness and help, along with wonderful wisdom and insight from the Pearl's! However, I have another question. I can see how this advice will correctly deal with the situation once it has started, however, is there any advice for preventing it alltogether? I feel like my children are displaying some simple immaturity, but there also seems to a root of self-centeredness. Please share with me if I am wrong in my thinking and any further advice you might have. Thank you so much for being such a tremendous resource to parents!
