Faith-based Parenting

So, since Justice learned how to talk--- well, talk-back, rather, Ive been telling her things like "God doesn't want us to be rude to one another" and "God tells us in the Bible to love eachother. Your attitude isn't loving." Today Justice used my words against me when I told her "no." I started recording it on my phone, just so you can see what I deal with daily. This was a mild case of attitude. My daughter is capable of over-the-top fits. But with the Holy Spirit I know I can penetrate that attitude and minister to her heart... Sometimes I just need to get her calmed-down with a 'time-out' first.
