And so when the two little boys, boys are different than girls. So when the boys were squabbling over a toy and they kept running to me, fighting over a toy or he hit me. I found this, I got a tip from friends and I literally just looked at both my boys and I would ask generally the older one, you know, or the one that was being accused.
SourceDid you do the kindest thing in the kindest way? And then they would put their head down and say no. And then I'd ask the other one, did you do the kindest thing in the kindest way? No. And I said, OK, now go back and play nicely.
Otherwise they have chores for you to do. And so, you know, they were they became best friends, you know, till my oldest son died at 27. And I'm so grateful that we as parents need to model that.
And really, it's hard. It was the hardest years to not only manage, make sure my response was my responsibility. And that was the most important thing, how I respond to being interrupted by a problem by the children instead of seeing as an opportunity.
And Tim, this is a blessed room. This is something that I'll have to go back and listen to the recording. It's really helping a lot of people.
So I just wanted to give a word of thanks. And that's all I have. I'll yield it next.
