The secret to having children who are best friends, rests in correcting attitudes.

Many years ago the Lord revealed this secrete to me: He judges our hearts.

And he will judge our childrens hearts too.

When we train up our children, we need to train up their hearts also. Ongoing sibling difficulties are really hearts that need to be guided. When a child’s heart is not full of, jealousy, pride etc. all sibling conflicts are trivial and easily resolved.

Set the boundaries for appropriate ways to express emotion. For us, this mostly means the way we are to talk to each other.

Don’t overlook language. If one child is boasting to another child what is the intention really. Is it the spirit you want to encourage? Is it the habit which you want to get ingrained?

Take the time to train a young child early in The Straight and Narrow Way. Provide an environment where children are free to invest in each other without negative consequences.

A mother’s greatest joy is seeing her children become best friends.
