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.
