If you teach a child the principles of the gospel then they will walk in the way of the Lord, If you teach a child respect then they will be obedient, If .... then.... so what happens when they don't? You can only punish kids so much that you start to wonder if they have brain damage because they obviously don't get it. The brain damage would explain so much and not have me feeling guilty, (well maybe I would still feel guilty but not about this). When will she get it? Does she know how much I suffer when I see her fail? Does she feel the love in between the arguments and punishments.
I've been down this road before child and I know where it ends, don't make the same mistakes I did... is that a distant memory of what was said to me at one time, or is that my voice?
Mom Dad, I understand now. It's painful.
