Do you have a young child in the "why" stage?
A friend shared this this morning: http://www.littleheartsbooks.com/2013/11/29/the-gift-of-a-strong-willed-child/ and this sentence reminded me of this post: " They often have an insatiable need to know 'why.'" I thought the article had excellent suggestions to use even with children who aren't strong willed too. I keep forgetting to post those other 2 articles that were such helpful reminders to me when the "why" stage would frustrate me: Kindness vs Obedience Sermon: http://aolff.org/sermons/kindness-vs-obedience/2 (the last quote of the second page really stuck with me) Obedience, or Idolatry: http://aolff.org/?s=Idolatry+claim Powerful stuff!
