What if you put them down all the time instead of building them up? How about spending so much time disciplining them you forget to say how much you appreciate them? Even in discipline, you can be inconsistent or unfair or too heavy handed. Worse than that, what about controlling their every move?<\/p>\n<p>Any who grew up under these tactics can attest to how exasperating they are. Unfortunately, with no other role model, many parents repeat the only behavior they knew as children on their own children.<\/p>\n<p>Think back to when you were a child. Did your parents obey Ephesians 6:4? If not, don\u2019t make the same mistake. Ask your children how you are doing in that department and be sure to do so with an open and teachable heart.<\/p>\n<p>Now, how about doing a verse exchange that will have Father God smiling at both you and your children?
