Good insight, Laura. You are right…it’s easy to get frustrated at how our kids do something but often we really haven’t taught them yet!

Ah. This is a struggle for me right now. I am the pregnant mother of a three-year-old and I seem to be very short on patience these days. I’ve taught my son to take deep breaths when frustrated, and he’s been coaching me in the same activity. “Take a breath, Mama! Are you so frustrated?” They really do help. Mommy time-outs (a moment to yourself to calm down) make a huge difference too. Thanks for this encouragement, Jill!

I love your distinction between reacting and responding. For me, I am learning to recognize that much of my frustration comes in thinking my kids should know something that I haven’t actually taught them yet and in recognizing that I lose things too!

I have found that if I can pause long enough to take a breath, I can remind myself that God is watching and He knows the details and for some reason known to Himself He has allowed what is happening to happen. God is in control. Then I can respond in grace and truth. What a blessing.

I enjoyed listening to your interview this morning on Focus on the Family. My husband does the morning show on WLUJ in Springfield, IL and FotF plays every morning at 7am. I was never really into talk radio that much but I can not wait for my 30 min travel time to work listening to the program. I learn so much from listening to those interviews. Although I have heard your story at HAH, I really think God is placing these interviews in my path to encourage me through my tough season right now! I’m thankful for you and for Focus on the Family!
