I know some adults that still need to learn to disagree, but still show respect. And our kids need to know that sometimes, we can't give them the reason why the answer may be "no"--it's the beginning of them learning to trust.Robin Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453257548258134246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-4783973299760749252007-11-28T14:22:00.000-06:002007-11-28T14:22:00.000-06:00I agree!

There is some cost as well as some give and take; however the results could prove to be priceless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-21778250169570303882007-11-27T17:38:00.000-06:002007-11-27T17:38:00.000-06:00I don't have any kids from my own womb... but my s...I don't have any kids from my own womb... but my students are as close as I get right now. <BR/><BR/>We've pulled some of the students who are constantly acting out and placed them in roles where that energy can be used for good. It's not easy and it takes intentional, relational work... but it is well-worth it in the long run... to think we could be training them for all that God has for them is amazing to me!Anna Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223319331958615694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19304564.post-91620063531857460022007-11-27T08:04:00.000-06:002007-11-27T08:04:00.000-06:00Cindy, haha - you make me laugh!No doubt--you are ...Cindy, <BR/><BR/>haha - you make me laugh!<BR/><BR/>No doubt--you are raising two--or maybe they're raising you? ; )<BR/><BR/>You and Chris are doing a marvelous job with those two guys.
