Something happened this evening and I thought to share it.

While lying in my room, I heard a child crying, and accompanying that crying child was an adult whom I’m assuming is the child’s father. I heard the man telling the child to go and bring the remaining money; otherwise, he shouldn’t bother returning home.

I remembered how terrifying this was for those of us who experienced it while growing up, and I couldn’t help but put myself in that child’s shoes.

Parents, let’s learn to be gentle with our kids. I know they can be a handful at times, but think about it,what if something bad happens to that child? Wouldn’t you end up spending far more than the money the child misplaced?
