Do you have a good memory?  Do you have a good memory when it comes to your own shortcomings?

When you discipline your child, it’s important to remember your own teenage years.  Think back on the time when you dented Dad’s car… or stayed out too late with friends.  You grew and learned through those experiences, didn’t you?

Well, now’s the time to remember the life- lessons and have grace with your own children.  Keep in mind that they’re in process, too.  Even though they may break curfew or dent the car… they’re being shaped for a life of ups and downs— just like you.  And chances are… they’ll remember these moments for their own kids, as well!

So… a good memory is important!
