Guide children to the right path

By Pastor M

My then girlfriend and I used to visit a young couple with a rather hyperactive six-year-old daughter, who was prone to throwing tantrums at a moment’s notice. Just as we were getting into our conversation on a particular visit, the girl began to raise her voice, demanding attention and the atmosphere tensed up. But this time, the outcome was completely different from what we had come to expect. Her dad looked her in the eye and said a single word calmly and with authority, ‘No!’. To our amazement, the girl calmed down immediately.
