With full recognition of my own failures, allow me to offer some suggestions for raising children.

Good morning. I am Alan Watkins with your “Message of Hope” from the Grant Street Church of Christ.

When a child gets in trouble do not ask why, but try the following.

Tell me what happened.

What do you thing we ought to do about it?

What could you have done differently?

What do you think you will do next time?

By the way, listen to their answers.
