The Best Way to Correct your Child
One of the quiet miracles of childhood is that a child softly corrected today can become a light for others tomorrow. So many adults wish to have been taught early in life; they wish to have learned some habits early in life. There is a deeper way to train a child beyond scolding or punishment. Correct the child, then empower the child to correct others in that same area. Teach a child to speak well, and soon you’ll hear them gently fixing wrong expressions—even yours. Teach them honesty, and they will speak against lies with courage. Children learn fast, and when truth enters them early, it takes root deeply.
