When it comes to our children, there are going to be irritations, that is just a part of life with having kids. They want to test boundaries, they make messes when learning or playing, and they have a will; a very strong will.
Our job as parents is to seek out wisdom from God on how to raise up our children in the right way. I also believe experience also brings experience which means: when you make mistakes, you have a choice; you can learn from it and do something about it or ignore it.
I think it is easier to get upset and yell or fuss and push your kids away with your words, but it takes a lot of work to calm down and talk to them, relate to them on their level, and keep your voice at a lower tone.
I have struggled with this so many times when handling my kids; there are ones that know exactly how to push your buttons and then there are ones who will be peaceable.
Loads of prayer is one of the keys to self-control with our children;
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
