Having two grown children, I am occasionally asked if my “parenting
skills” are different this time around. The easy answer is a simple Yes.
In truth, my parenting skills have changed because I want
to believe I have changed. My hope would be to something better than the old Ford.
More patient. More forgiving. More loving. Less self-centered. Less hurried.
Less angry. The older children endured more of my fault years as I struggled to
become a better Father. A better husband. A better person.
Different “parenting skills” this time around? For the
benefit of our children and my dear wife. I can only pray…
peace

Nice way of aying these oh so true words. We, too are raising our daughter with more patience and understanding. She has 4 older siblings, and hoping I am making it better for her from my mistakes I learned as a younger parent.
