Building Godly Character in Your Kids, Purposeful Parenting

Loving the Difficult Child

As parents, we love ALL of our kids. However, some of them may be easier to love than others. If you are dealing with a difficult child, you know what I mean. Out of our eight kids, two were what I considered difficult. They were the ones that were stubborn, frustrating, disagreeable, and annoying. At times they made me feel like I was going to lose my mind. I loved them through it all, but there were many times when I didn’t FEEL very loving, and times when I didn’t really LIKE them! They left me emotionally exhausted, and totally drained.

Do you have a child like that? Do you find it hard to love them at times when they are pushing you to your limits? Perhaps like me, you have times where you just want to give up!

Join me at A Mama’s Story, where I am sharing some things to help you not only love this difficult child, but also start to actually enjoy them!

This is a wonderful course for moms! I loved how Kathie encouraged me and inspired me to do better. She gave lots of opportunities to get in the Word to see what God has to say about anger, and told us specific ways we can change. I am so thankful for this course. And that God used it in my life.
