patience

I will be dedicating this post to older kids with younger siblings and parents. To older kids; we need to be more patient with our siblings and I'm directing this to older boys with younger sisters. My mum always told me "You cannot hit girls even though they attack you..."( and between us boys i fine this quite unfair to older brothers with parents who don't deal with their younger ones). If our siblings bully us older kids either for the fun of it or to get something from us....we..... tell our parents!!!! =). Ok sounds pretty immature.... when I say it at least. And if really this doesn't work, we just have to discipline ourselves and be patient with them. There is a verse in the bible which tells us that God gave us more than one chance and he had alot of patience. So i took his example and this really helps. There was less fighting in the house and i thank God for that. Now for the parents; when you're kid does something wrong, don't shout and scold them before asking them what happened ( learnt from experience ) for this might cause the bond with your kid to go sour and since kids don't have the control to scold their parents, this will just be as bad. And don't ask me how i know this. I've seen parents hit the ceiling at their kids for the wrong reasons. And besides scolding them.... ok the rest is for the parents that really don't know this. Talk to you're kids and maybe get some life lesson out it so that they may not do it again but teach the next generation of children.
