Change.
How often do we as adults try to change something about ourselves? Change our eating habits, quit smoking, start an exercise program, quit cursing or start going to church?
How often are most of us successful in reaching those goals? What happens to prevent us, in most cases, from attaining our objective?
I often hear parents telling their children that they’d better shape up and change their attitude, or behavior, or manners, or something. Yet, how does this expected change come about? Just how is it supposed to happen in our children?
Knowing how hard it is for us, as mature adults, to change certain behaviors of our own, is it reasonable for us to expect children to change merely as a result of parents telling them that they must do so? Or by the parents threatening them with punishment if they don’t accomplish the change?
