Common mistakes parents make when their children misbehave.
_
Mistake 1: They get angry at the child and just punish.
_
Yes, it could be frustrating when our kids act in negative ways. Sometimes it can feel like we have talked with our kids repeatedly about doing the right thing - and yet they still “mess up”. After some time it's tempting to get really angry, and pull out some great punishment (example spanking, ipad is gone, time out etc.) But unfortunately getting angry and spanking our children hasn’t help much either.
_
Here's why... _
Your child is born sinful. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3: 23). Your child was born a sinner because he has inherited the sin of Adam. This explains why a room-full of toddlers do not have to be taught how to fight over a toy.
_
Sin is bound in the heart of your child. Proverbs 22: 15 says, “Folly is bound up in the heart of a child.” Bound means “fixed and settled, and rooted”therefore it would be unnatural if your child did not sin.
_
The heart is the foundation of behavior. When our children sinfully express themselves, whether it be in the form of selfishness, disobeying, talking back, throwing temper tantrums, or taking swings at us or their sibling, they are drawing from what is in their hearts. (Proverbs 4: 23.) The heart is the well from which all of the responses to life gush forth. The behavior your child exhibits is an expression of the overflow of his heart. To put it simply, the heart determines behavior.
_
Therefore a mere change in outward behavior that does not stem from a change in heart is not commendable; it is condemnable.
_
When we focus on our children’s outside behavior and neglect what is on the inside, we will cause our children to become manipulators. They will learn to please us by jumping through the hoop (by acting the way we tell them to act out of a fear of punishment) but they will not learn the righteousness of Christ.
_
If we are to really help our children, we must work backward from the behavior to the heart. We must be concerned with the attitudes of the heart that drive his behavior.

TOO CUTE
Blessing your timeline with this handsome goodness, he is such a beautiful child! and a beautiful word from his mum .
@dravonrangel
i’m crying real tears; i love him so much.
i will forever praise god for him. even on my worst day, i can’t be upset. on a day where I should probably be sad or upset, i can’t be. my tiny human has pulled out a strength in me like no other. a back bone so strong, i can not be moved. i just stare at him and my heart is filled with so much joy. i have eliminated all things in my life that do not serve me. he constantly inspires me to be the best ME that i can be. i wake up with so much joy in my heart, ready to conquer the world. get a bag and provide the best life for myself and my son. we are truly living our best blessed life and if you knew where I was this time two years ago you would be so proud of how far i’ve come and the boss moves that I have made. god is everything and so is the son he gave me. he saved me, i am eternally grateful. nothing feels better than this! . . . .
