Provoke Not Your Children To Anger

Do not with children a contest of wills make- for this only provokes them to anger and is a mistake. you might prevail for the moment but you cannot win, it will just keep happening time and again. Instead of contention firm instruction is best- provide an acceptable alternative and avoid the test. Give them a substitute to claim as their own- we can not dictate to them when they are grown. Or force on them life’s path they must take- nor choose for them the decisions they make.
