Sometimes I get frustrated about the best way to teach or handle my children's tantrums. Brian and I have been not really knowing what to do with Jaxon and kindergarten. He has a super late birthday (August) and we have not been sure if we should put him in kindergarten or not. I have asked a lot of people about what to do and they have given my suggestions. We have gone back and forth for months about it. I am probably worrying way too much about this. Oh well. Some days I feel that he needs to be held back and three days later I feel that there is no way I can hold him back. He is bored at home, loves school, and seems to be mostly on top of things... I think. Well a few weeks ago I happen to ask the kindergarten teacher who happens to be in our ward what her thoughts on the subject were.
The Best advice I ever got. She simply said to me, "Ask the Lord, he will know what to do with His child". I thought, genius. Anyway, since that day, I have given this a lot of thought. I get advice about my children a fair amount, I ask around maybe someone else has been through something similiar. I have read parenting books and so forth. But since she told me this, I have thought, Do I ask the Lord first? I should. He knows my children better than I know my children. He has entrusted me in their care, why shouldn't I ask him. He is all knowing. So I am going to try to make a better effort of asking the Lord for help in my parenting. They are His children too and I should go to Him first.

Brooke, The past two nights, I have been so frustrated with Andy that I end the day in tears with a blood pressure around 180/99...and I wish that was an exaggeration. I stumbled on this post and immediately felt relief. Thank you for writing it down and reminding me to talk to my Heavenly Father about our children! :)
