These seven positive traits remove the stinger and venom from authority. Authoritarian parents are transformed into true shepherd parents by these seven traits. I am assuming that your children see you living in a state of gratefulness to the Lord. I assume that you have a genuine spirit of humility. I hope and pray that it's obvious to your children that you are making good headway in controlling your tongue and emotions.
Patient parents score big with children.
Naturally, you're a parent with good manners and liberal in the use of please and thank-you. Courteous parents have a head-start successfully controlling their children. I'm believing that your children feel accepted as they are, for what they are. That's giving due respect to each child. I assume that you understand the principle of earning the right to be heard.
