Great Parenting Post

I just read such an encouraging and challenging post! My good friend Lori posted some very helpful things about parenting. Here is a little snippet:

Nevertheless, do not let your authority be strained with such harshness and fierceness as may discourage your children. Our authority should be so tempered with kindness, meekness and loving tenderness that our children may fear us with delight, and see that we love them with as much delight. Mercy must be joined with severity.
