I am so humbled and saddened after reading this article! I think I have forgotten how to smile! No wonder my kids’ actions, or lack thereof, are driving me crazy! It’s me, isn’t it? Lord, forgive me and teach me how to smile again, how to know and display Your incomprehensible joy in my life and on my face.

I really needed to read this today, I have been so frustrated with my two year old, that I forgot to look at my own life and what he might be imitating.

Just read To train up a child and it is Great training for me as a mom. I never had a good up bringing on how to train up my daughters and just recently have been tried and tested with my 7 year old and her attitude. I cried last night because I am see the mistakes I did with not being consistent with her when she was younger and now the attitude is a real challenge for me. I love her and want to enjoy spending the time together but she just sometimes get’s in these moods that kills the spirit that I want to have in our home! I am venting as I write this because I know there is hope and I know God can help and mend whatever that was broken in our relationship. I am thankful for NGJ because it has helped me with my marriage and my children…… Thanks

I’ve been asking the Lord to show me what to do about my 9 yr old daughters attitude. It seems like every day things have gotten worse! I’ve been in a state of frustration and wordering even if my daughter was saved as i wasn’t seeing fruit. After I prayed one night at midnight I came out to the computer and was looking on your site for sermons to buy and I came across this article. Praise the Lord!! This is what I needed to hear. Hard to take, but I know it is the Holy Spirit convicting me. I’m praying for a change within my heart now!! Thank you!

Thank you! This article is beautiful and thought provoking.. As a parent of 2 small children, I constantly find my self struggling to deal with different personalities, I was actually googling to see how I could change the behaviour of my 4 year old daughter who is constantly crying, the slightest disapproval hurts her feelings and she just sobs her heart out, its not just at home, but even at school and with friends.. She’s always hiding from rejection and doesn’t know how to handle it if a child that she wants to befriend doesn’t want the same.. Perhaps its my attitude that warrants change.. I do feel at times that I am a more disapproving than I should be.. I wish God gives me the strength to change my attitude and behaviour and helps me raise happy, strong and confident children.
Thank you again.

Thanks, I needed that! I am pregnant with #5, and it has been a hard one. I have been fighting depression and wondering why all of sudden my kids are against me. The problem is me and my lack of joy. They’re use to the happy-go-lucky mommy. I just got to get her back.

Thanks for this! I really agree with all of it and expect that it probably is me that is causing my five year old to defy me in every single thing big and small. I am afraid I don’t know how to lower the bar without sending the message that she doesn’t ever have to obey. I love my little girl, but totally feel like I’m failing as a Mother anytime I’m around her… At least this article got me thinking. Something to take up with the Lord in prayer.
