The originator of the comment (KatieKind) reposted it on her blog too back in <a href="http://katiekind.wordpress.com/2010/07/18/grace-ful-parenting-of-toddlers/" rel="nofollow">July</a>. You're welcome to link to either. She's been there & has an "empty nest" now--AND a good relationship with her adult children--just the kind of lady I like getting advice from. :-)The Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906014150752232747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096222976291203462.post-46193633362905559752010-12-10T09:37:45.387-05:002010-12-10T09:37:45.387-05:00I thought I had linked this before but I guess I h...I thought I had linked this before but I guess I haven't, I know I've shared it on fb and with several friends.

And wise ones too... Nothing like the voice of experience. Thanks again for taking the time to lend your wisdom!! <br /><br />The Lord knew how much I needed it then, and how much I need it now. Your words have ministered grace to me as a mom of toddlers; now, Lord willing, I can use them to go minister grace to the toddlers themselves! :-)The Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15906014150752232747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096222976291203462.post-73943645000948103172010-07-18T02:12:41.239-04:002010-07-18T02:12:41.239-04:00Oh Mel--how heartwarming to see that these thought...Oh Mel--how heartwarming to see that these thoughts were an encouragement to you!

I really...ohmyword, that is an incredible (re)post! I really appreciated her thoughts and especially the underlying understanding of human nature in all of its weaknesses.<br /><br />Favorite line: We SIN because our bent is to answer a basic need the wrong way. <br /><br />Toddlers scare the poo out of me, but I realize that many adults are terrified of teenagers (whom I find delightful despite their own immaturity). Everything she said in regards to toddlers is just as true for teens, just you're dealing with different (wrong) expressions of basic needs. They "misbehave" most of the time because they're hungry, tired, stressed, overworked, worried, whatever. Same sin nature. ;-)<br /><br />People aren't objects. I wish we would all stop talking about parenting (or mentoring) "plans" and start focusing on Jesus, the lover of our souls and Savior of our children. This is a great post.lorojorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515905963948470323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096222976291203462.post-91486864900491689292010-07-17T11:44:41.134-04:002010-07-17T11:44:41.134-04:00Hmmm, in the throes of life, this was very helpful...Hmmm, in the throes of life, this was very helpful to me today.
