Your childre...Sounds like we do things a lot alike! Your children are little though, so I would not hesitate to prompt them if they really do not know what they did wrong. You are still in the discipline phase of parenting so you will be doing more teaching and training because they are little. As they get into the elementary school age, they will take on more and more responsibility in this area as they move toward moral maturity. :)linkmamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098657041190344161.post-76915173723625798552009-06-12T07:41:17.000-04:002009-06-12T07:41:17.000-04:00Yeah, definitely.

But that's good for me too I guess. :-)umanjoellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098657041190344161.post-9803484288879919402009-06-11T17:26:52.000-04:002009-06-11T17:26:52.000-04:00Great post Joelle! This has been on my heart also....Great post Joelle! This has been on my heart also. It is so hard to get to the heart issue of the matter. Sometimes I wonder if it is rebellion or lack of self control, etc... All we can do is pray for discernment. Salvation is a work of God , not us, and I am glad because if it were up to my parenting skills...my kids would not have a chance. I need so much improvement!!!<br><br><br>I also have the book, Shepherding a Child's Heart. Great book! I need to reread it. I don;t have the other book ( forget title) but I do have one of his other books.<br><br><br>I may do a post soon on this subject also. It is so strong on my heart.<br><br><br>Have a great day!<br><br>Christine<br><br>http://adventuresofasimplelife.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098657041190344161.post-37981353777972262812009-06-11T17:35:45.000-04:002009-06-11T17:35:45.000-04:00Thank you for passing that on Joelle.

It is frustrating to try to teach my children when I feel so inadequate in my own spiritual life. Prayer is most definitely the most important thing!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098657041190344161.post-15602940849960417582009-06-11T17:37:45.000-04:002009-06-11T17:37:45.000-04:00that last comment was from Elizabeth at www.busyma...that last comment was from Elizabeth at www.busymama7,blogspot.com.

This is exactly what I have been doing. I try to always make a conscious effort to have them verbalize what it is they have done wrong and why they think they did what they did. I try as much as possible to not give them the answer, but let them figuring it out themselves by asking questions. Also, when they say sorry, I always have them say why they are sorry, and what they are sorry about.umanjoellenoreply@blogger.com
