It's hard enough thinking about being a parent, I can't imagine how hard it will be to actually be one!

I am thinking about getting a book on Godly parenting, because I also see parents being so punitive, and want my children to just understand how life is supposed to be lived, rather than revolving everything around a punishment. For example if our kids don't want to sweep the kitchen, we help them understand that cleaning is a part of life, and we have to have a clean house to feel happy and clean as well, instead of threatening with punishments and so many lost privilegesKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17136047358395195129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031406013223941922.post-28794837305313924042013-03-12T09:25:24.820-07:002013-03-12T09:25:24.820-07:00I'm one of the worst workers I know.

Working brings success and knowing how to work hard brings the greatest happiness. I love those articles and the Ensign article, though I am not married or raising children, is a VERY important lesson. I also thought this article about Ben Affleck's speech at the Oscars and how it applied to life (http://www.tulsaworld.com/business/article.aspx?subjectid=362&articleid=20130310_362_E2_Watchi685534) was excellent as well.

Hard work is such an important thing to be teaching our kids... we can do that as teachers :-)<br /><br />Great post!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01804182901573280105noreply@blogger.com
