The Power of Patience and Discipline
When our kids make mistakes or act out, they don't need lectures or nagging. What they need is infinite patience and discipline. John Steinbeck, while writing East of Eden, realized that his son needed more than just lectures about his behavior. He needed understanding, guidance, and accountability. Similarly, as parents, we should provide our children with patience, discipline, and kindness combined with firmness, rather than simply lecturing them. By offering what we may have lacked as children, we can help our kids grow and learn from their mistakes.
Understanding and Accountability
When children misbehave or struggle in school, getting yelled at only reinforces negative behaviors. Instead, children need someone who can see why they are acting out and help them get back on track. This requires patience and discipline. By providing understanding and holding our children accountable, we can guide them towards the right path and help them realize the consequences of their actions. By giving our kids what we may have missed out on in our own childhood, we can give them the support and guidance they deserve.
