When we behave badly, consequences are not usually pleasant, but they are necessary. One of the many things God has taught me as I parent my daughter has to do with the issue of behaving badly, and the consequences that hopefully lead us to sincere repentance.
This post is taken from a section of my newsletter entitled "Things I Have Learned From My Little Girl" that I wrote back when Rachel was three years old. I plan for this and similar posts to eventually be published in an ebook format. Last week, I posted links to a number of other similar posts in the series.If you missed them last week, you can find those links here.

"Don't Talk To Me!"
Don’t you just love it when your little one
gets sassy and talks back to you?
NOT! Rachel has picked up a bad
habit from a video she saw where one of the characters said to another in a
mean voice, “Be quiet! Don’t talk to me!”
Rachel latched onto that phrase, and has been using it on me…mostly when
I am telling her to do something she doesn’t want to do. (Needless
to say, this particular video has been blacklisted in our home.)
