When I saw other children publicly act up or act out, I thought my child would not do THAT. My children knew right from wrong. Have you thought that too?
While it is true that children do the darndest things, we never expect our children to disobey, be unkind, lie, or steal. Those aren't acceptable to the Lord or us.
As a young mom, I was certain that my kids would behave properly. I convinced myself that if I parented well, my child would not do that. That was until I realized my faulty thinking. Why? Because they are children and children perfect! The truth is, they are fully capable of doing things we never imagined.
The sooner we realized our children could, and sometimes do wrong, the better we will be at parenting.
My Child Would Not Do THAT...
Here are a few unacceptable actions children might do:
- Steal the candy bar from the grocery store
- Lie to you with a straight face
- Say mean and hurtful words to you and others
- Make poor choices
- Embarrass you by their actions
